He works on developing methods for quantum mechanical calculations of large systems and carrying out quantum mechanical simulations of chemical, biological systems and nanostructures. He received his B.S. degree in chemistry from Peking University in 1982 and his Ph.D. degree in chemistry from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill in 1987. After postdoctoral research at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and the University of California-Berkeley, he joined Duke University in 1998. His current interests include developing fundamental understanding and overcoming major challenges of systematic errors in widely used density functional approximations, connecting density functional theory with many-electron theory, combining accurate electronic structure theory with statistical mechanics for simulations of chemical and several systems. Yang has published over 300 papers and has won several awards including the 1993 Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow, the 1997 Annual Medal of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science, the 2006 Humboldt Research Award for Senior U.S. Scientists, the 2012 ACS National Award for Computers in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research, the 2014 ACS Florida Award, and the 2017 Distinguished Lecturer Award of the North Carolina Section of ACS. He is an Elected Fellow of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Physical Society.
