Faculty Highlight
Yang Zhang
Assistant Professor
Assistant Professor Zhang heads the Zhang Laboratory, whose research focuses on the study of liquids and glassy materials using integrated neutron and synchrotron light experimental probes and atomistic modeling and simulation. The structure and dynamics of these systems are either inherently complex or driven far from equilibrium by extreme conditions: rapid change of temperature or pressure, intense irradiation, high mechanical load, and so on. Such studies shed light on a class of fundamental and technical problems involving phenomena emerging from self-organization, rare events, and symmetry breaking, and may lead to countless pivotal applications.
