ABOUT ME
Ya Tang Yang is a nanoscientist, electrical engineer, bioengineer and Associate Professor of Electrical Engineer at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) in Taiwan.
After earning B. S. in physics in 1996 at National Taiwan
University, Taipei, Yang received his Ph.D. in Applied Physics
from California Institute of Technology in 2006. His graduate
research is in the field of Nanoelectromechanical systems. From
2004 to 2010, he has worked for Applied Materials, the world’s
largest semiconductor equipment company.
Upon moving to Department of Electrical Engineering,
National Tsing Hua University in 2010, his principal research
changed to microfluidics, plasmonic optical tweeze, mini
bioreactors, microfluidics, and microbial carbon fixation with
synthetic biology.
