Biography

Dr. Zifeng Yang is an associate professor and director of Aerospace System Engineering program in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Wright State University since 2017. Dr. Yang was appointed as an assistant professor at the same institute since 2011. He graduated from Iowa State University (ISU) with a PhD degree in Aerospace Engineering in 2009. Then he was appointed as a postdoc research associate at ISU until 2011. His research was mainly focused on the development of advanced flow diagnostic techniques, experimental fluid dynamics, hemodynamics of blood flows, and wind energies. His research was funded by NIH, RMD Inc, Ronald Houck II and IHE, LLC, and Premier Health Boonshoft School Endowment Funding. He has published 41 peer-reviewed journal articles, 21 peer-reviewed conference papers and 32 conference oral presentations and invited talks. He is an APS member since 2008. He was the technical co-chair for 33rd Applied Aerodynamics Conference at Aviation 2015, and served as the session chairs for multiple APS, ASME, and AIAA conferences. He was the vice chair for the 47th AIAA Dayton-Cincinnati Aerospace Sciences Symposium (DCASS) organizing committee and executive chair for the 48th DCASS. Dr. Yang was a guest-editor for Applied Sciences from 2021 to 2022. Dr. Yang has been serving as the Vice Chair for the American Physical Society East Great Lakes Section (EGLS) since 2022.
