Prof. Dr. Nuo Yang (ORCID 0000-0003-0973-1718) was born in Inner Mongolia, China in 1978. He obtained Bachelor of Science at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2000 and Master of Engineering at Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) in 2003. He obtained Ph.D. in department of physics at National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2010, supervised by Prof. Baowen Li.
Then, he did postdoctoral training at NUS supervised by Prof. Baowen Li, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) supervised by Prof. Gang Chen. From Jan. 2012 to Dec. 2014, he worked at School of Physical Science and Engineering, Tongji University as a Research Professor. From Jan. 2014 to now, he worked at School of Energy and Power Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) as a Professor.
His group mainly focuses on the fundamental and applied studies in Phonon Engineering. His interests mainly focus on, but not limited to, energy carriers’ transport and energy conversions, such as thermal transport, thermal modulation, thermal device, thermal interfacial resistance, thermoelectrics and solar water evaporation/ condensation etc.
He obtained 2021 Most cited Chinese researcher by Elsevier, Invitation Fellowship by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) in 2016, Chutian Distinguished Professor by the department of education in Hubei province in 2015, Outstanding Young Scholar by the office of science and technology in Hubei province in 2017, and Pujiang Scholars by Shanghai committee of science and technology in 2013.
His original work has an influence on the field of nano thermal science and engineering. Till Jan. 2023, he published around 90 academic papers on journals, such as Nano Lett., Nano Today (Rap.), Nano Energy, Mat. Today Phys., Small, JMCA, Nanoscale, Phys. Rev. B (Rap.), Appl. Phys. Lett., Chin. Phys. Lett. (Exp.), Ren. Sust. Ener. Rev., Appl. Ener., Int. J. Heat. Mass Tran., etc., which was cited by others above 3,000. H index is 40.
He is the associate editor of ES Materials & Manufacture, Thermal Science & Engineering, and editorial board member of Chinese Physics Letters, Chinese Physics B, Acta Physica Sinica, and Physics.
