Born in Zhejiang,
China, Professor
Academician YANG
Yuliang received
B.S. degree in 1977
and Ph.D. in 1984
from Fudan
University. He
worked as a
post-doctor on
macromolecular
compound at Max
Planck Institute
from 1986 to 1988.
In 2003 Professor
Academician YANG was
elected Member of
Chinese Academy of
Sciences.
Professor
Academician YANG was
a faculty member of
Fudan University
before he was
appointed Vice
President for
Research in 1999. In
2006, he was
appointed Director
General of the
Department of Degree
and Postgraduate
Education, Ministry
of Education of the
People’s Republic of
China. Professor
Academician YANG
serves as senior
advisor to Shanghai
Municipal
Government. He
inaugurated as
President of Fudan
University in
January 2009.
The academic
interest of
Professor
Academician YANG is
in condensed matter
physics and
polymerization. He
owns a dozens of
domestic and
international
patents and serves
on the boards of
several academic
journals including
Chinese Journal of
Chemistry and
Science in China.
Professor
Academician YANG has
been rewarded with
many titles and
awards from home and
abroad, including
“Cheung Kong
Scholar” and
“National Scientific
and Technological
Progress Award”.
Professor
Academician YANG is
Principal
Investigator of
National “973”
Project and
Principal
Investigator of
National “863”
Project.
Professor
Academician YANG has
made major research
results in several
fields. He uses the
extension and
establishment of a
new graphic theory
to depict static and
viscoelastic kinetic
behaviors of
macromolecular
chains with various
topological
structures and
copolymerization
configurations. By
synchronizing the
radio-frequency
pulse with rotor
positions, a new
solid state NMR
method has been
developed to explore
the correlations
between structure,
orientation and
motion in
macromolecular
solids. He has been
engaged in
theoretical and
experimental
research on polymer
physics including
phase separation and
pattern evolution of
complex polymeric
system,
polyelectrolyte,
polymer membrane,
Polymer Dispersed
Liquid Crystals
(PDLC) materials
among the others by
using the SCFT and
TDGL equations. A
complete stochastic
Monte Carlo method
for simulating the
molecular weight
distribution (MWD)
of the products
resulted from
various complicated
polymerization
reactions and
related kinetic
behaviors has been
developed. His
research results
were concluded in a
book he edited
titled Monte Carlo
Simulations in
Polymer Science in
1993. In particular,
during his two
consecutive terms as
Principal
Investigator of
National “973”
Project, he achieved
a vital innovation
in the theoretical
development of the
stretching flow
stabilization for
polymer thin films.
The success does not
only solve a
long-standing
film-rupture problem
which has impeded
the mass and quality
production of
high-speed BOPP
(biaxial orientation
polypropylene), but
also leads to
tremendous
proliferation of
economic benefits
and favorable
reverberations from
the polymer material
industry.
Professor
Academician YANG has
co-authored about
260 papers that are
cited more than
1,150 times
according to SCI and
supervised about 30
Ph.D. candidates. He
received Science and
Technology Progress
Award First Prize in
2003 from China
Petroleum & Chemical
Corporation and
Science and
Technology Progress
Award Second Prize
in 2004, Science and
Technology Progress
Award from Ho Leung
Ho Lee Foundation in
2007 and title of
Outstanding
Scientist Award from
Qiushi Foundation in
2008.
