Resume
Dr. Yang received his Ph.D. from the East China Normal University in 2010. He subsequently joined Prof. Xingao Gong’s research group at Fudan University, as a research assistant. From 2011 to 2013, he worked with Prof. Brian Laird at the University of Kansas as a postdoc. From 2013 to 2014, he worked with Prof. Mark Asta as a postdoc at the University of California, Berkeley. He joined the School of Physics and Material Science at East China Normal University as a Zijiang youth scholar faculty. Since March 2016, he has been serving as director of the institute of condensed matter physics at the School of Physics and Electronic Science. Dr. Yang’s research focuses on employing state-of-the-art theoretical and simulation techniques to develop the modern theory for the liquid phase interface thermodynamics and kinetics. Dr. Yang was awarded the Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award of Shanghai City, and the 2018 recipient of the East China Normal University Natural Science Youth Award.

Research Fields
My research group's long-term goal is the precise control of liquid surfaces and solid-liquid interfaces. We focus on the control of solidification processes in advanced metallurgy manufacturing/processing. We conduct theoretical and computational research on liquid interfaces' thermodynamic and kinetic properties. Our research combines advanced atomistic simulation techniques, computational analysis, and theoretical formalism to explore phenomena in different material systems; my group is committed to developing modern thermodynamics, kinetics, and statistical mechanics theories on liquid interfaces.
Current research focuses on the following two directions: [I] Quantitative thermodynamic and kinetic theories of liquid surface and interface systems. Develop quantitative theories of solidification kinetics. [II] Computer simulation technology and machine learning AI algorithm technology will be used to study the collective dynamic properties of traditional and active liquid phase substances.
Based on the research work accumulation in the above two directions, construct characteristic and advantageous technologies to solve practical significant scientific research problems (such as the problem of reducing surface roughness in ultrafast laser processing and manufacturing, the issue of nucleation and crystal selection in the precision casting of single crystal turbofan blades, and the problem of liquid metal embrittlement failure of reactor shells).
