Professor of Physics
Computational Condensed Matter Physics

Introduction

Dr. YANG graduated from the Department of Physics, Nanjing University with Ph.D. in 2006. After that, she spent four years in the group of Prof. Ole Krogh Andersen at Max-Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart/Germany (2006/10-2010/05), and five years working as a research fellow in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (2010/05-2016/02). In 2016/03, she joined High Magnetic Field Laboratory (CHMFL). Dr. YANG has long been devoted to the research on the electronic, magnetic, optical, and thermal properties of materials under extreme conditions (low temperature/high pressure/strong magnetic field). She has published 46 papers in international peer reviewed journals, including Nature Materials, Phys. Rev. Lett., Phys. Rev. B, Phys. Rev. Mater., Appl. Phys. Lett., ACS Nano, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, etc. Dr. YANG's research is supported by the National Key R&D Program and the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
