Professor Yang's research has been sponsored mainly by the National Science Foundation (NSF). He has authored and coauthored numerous technical articles in such journal as IEEE Transactions on Computers, IEEE Transaction on Parallel and Distributed Systems, IEEE Computer and Journal for Parallel and Distributed Computing, along with paper presented at International Symposium on Computer Architectures, International Symposium on High Performance Computer Architectures, International Conference on Parallel Processing, and International Conference on Internet Computing, etc. He holds several U.S. patents and has also contributed a number of chapters to books in the field of computer engineering. Graduate students who have graduated under his advice usually work in computer industry or research institutions as computer engineers, design architects, or research scientists. Dr. Yang has served as program chair, committee members for several professional conferences in the field and guest edited special issues for professional journals. He is an associate editor of IEEE Transaction on Parallel and Distributed Systems. He is an IEEE-Computer Society distinguished speaker of the year, (1996-99). A senior member of IEEE Computer Society and a member of ACM, his research interests are in: Computer Architectures, Parallel and Distributed Computing (software and hardware), Computer Performance Modeling and Simulation, Data Storage and I/O architectures, Computer Applications and Storage Networking (SAN,NAS, and LAN)
