Education and career

Born in Wuhu, China, Yang attended primary schools in China and Australia,[19] and high schools in Australia and Canada.[20] He received his A.B. in Physics from Princeton University in 1996, with Highest Honours (summa cum laude, Shenstone Prize and Kusaka Memorial Prize), joint with certificates in applied mathematics and in engineering physics. He received his Masters from University of Cambridge in 1997 with Distinction and then obtained his PhD from MIT in 2002 in the Center for Theoretical Physics (NSF Scholarship and MIT Presidential Award) under the supervision of Amihay Hanany.[21]

After postdoctoral work at the University of Pennsylvania, in the group of Burt Ovrut, Yang joined the University of Oxford as FitzJames Fellow and Advanced Fellow of the STFC, UK, working closely with Philip Candelas.[22] He remains a tutor at Merton College, Oxford when taking up his professorships at the University of London and Nankai University, and more recently, when he joined the London Institute.
