Yang Zhang
I'm a Postdoctoral Researcher at UConn DSC lab, advised by Prof. Jiong Tang. I received my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from University of Connecticut in December 2024. My research interests lie in Computational Intelligence, AI-driven Engineering, Digital Twin, and Inverse Analysis. I develop intelligent optimization methods and integrate them with physics-based modeling to create robust engineering analysis tools. |
