Yang Yang (楊陽, born 1958) is the current Carol and Lawrence E. Tannas, Jr., Chair Professor in Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Yang has made seminal contributions in several fields, and is most well known for his work on organic photovoltaic materials and devices and transparent solar cells.[1][2][3] He further ventured into perovskite photovoltaics in 2013,[4] and is responsible for many landmark achievements in the field.[5][6][7] He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS),[8] American Physical Society (APS),[9] Materials Research Society (MRS),[10] Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC),[11] and International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE).[12] He has published over 400 refereed publications. As of December 2020, his accumulated citation count exceeds 110,000, and his h-index is 156. His works have been featured in NPR,[13] Bloomberg,[14] Time Magazine,[15] Times Higher Education,[16] USA Today, and the LA Times.[17] He has been one of the world's most-cited researchers in materials science, chemistry, and physics for several years.[18][19] He was selected as "World's most influential scientific minds" by Thomason Reuters in 2016.[20] Yang's research has been selected as one of the feature research highlight of UCLA 100.[21]

Education

Yang was born in Taiwan, and completed his Bachelor of Science degree at the National Cheng Kung University in 1985. After serving his mandatory military service, he moved to the United States to pursue his graduate studies at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell. During his graduate studies, he had to switch majors three times: from Physics (1985-1988), to Electrical Engineering (1988-1989), and to Chemistry (1989-1992), before eventually receiving his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in 1992.

Academic career

After completing his PhD degree, he joined UNIAX Corporation in Santa Barbara (now DuPont Display Materials). In 1997, he subsequently joined UCLA as an assistant professor, being promoted to a tenured associate professor in 1998, and to a professor in 2002. He was edowed with the Tannas Jr. Chair professorship in 2010. In 2019, he took a leave of absence to join Westlake University, Hangzhou, China as the founding Dean of the School of Engineering.[22] However, in October 2020, he resigned from Westlake University, and returned to UCLA.[23]
