Personal profile

Research interests

Yang completed his PhD at the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (Saclay centre) and the University of Paris-Est (Ecole des Ponts ParisTech), following his MSc at Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan in France. After a short stay at the Institut Mines-Télécom Lille-Douai, he went to the University of Oxford as a research associate working on two ERC funded projects. Yang joined the University of Bath in February 2021, and was appointed as a Lecturer in July 2022.

Yang has been developing advanced techniques for data-rich full-field experiments and numerical simulations for heterogeneous materials and structures. His research focuses fibre reinforced composites that have strong implications in aerospace, nuclear energy and transportation.

Keywords are

  • FFT solvers for micromechanics
  • X-ray computed tomography 
  • Nonlinear mechanical modelling
  • Fluid flow in Porous media
  • Carbon fibre composites
  • Ceramic matrix composites
  • Image-processing; Image-based simulation

Yang currently holds the Innovation Fellowship funded by the EPSRC Future Composites Manufacturing Research Hub. The project will develop numerical tools for predicting the permeability of dry fibre textiles, which is an important parameter for optimising the liquid composites moulding process.
