Biography
EH Yang is a Professor of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Stevens Institute of Technology. The first to receive a MEMS Ph.D. in his native South Korea, he joined Stevens in 2006 following tenure as a senior member of the engineering staff at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he was awarded, among other honors, the Lew Allen Award for Excellence for developing MEMS-based actuators and microvalves for large-aperture space telescopes and deformable mirrors capable of correcting for optical aberrations to improve high-resolution imaging. Through the Stevens Micro Device Laboratory, Dr. Yang facilitates student research and hands-on education in emerging nanotechnologies. In addition to his role as a faculty advisor of the nanotechnology graduate program, he spearheaded the design of Stevens' first undergraduate nanotechnology research-track training program. Dr. Yang has secured more than 35 federal grants and contracts totaling approximately $8.5 million, including funding from the National Science Foundation, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, National Reconnaissance Office, US Army, and NASA. Dr. Yang's professional service credits include editorial or editorial board positions for several journals, including Nature’s Scientific Reports and multiple track chair positions for ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE). He has produced more than 300 journal papers, conference proceedings, and presentations and has delivered 86 keynote or invited talks. He holds 17 issued or pending patents in the fields of micro- and nanotechnology. Dr. Yang was a featured Micro- and Nano- Systems Engineering and Packaging track plenary speaker at IMECE in 2018. He received the Award for Research Excellence at Stevens in 2019. Dr. Yang has been elected a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, the highest professional distinction for academic inventors. He has also been elected a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) for his extensive contributions to the fields of micro- and nanotechnology.
