About
Quan Yang is a leading researcher in nanoscale materials and robotic manipulation, with a focus on carbon nanotube (CNT) electronics and automated synthesis. His work bridges experimental and computational approaches to address fundamental challenges in nanoscale device fabrication. Yang’s most cited paper (20 citations) introduces an innovative method to determine the electrical transport properties of multiwall carbon nanotube bundles contacting metal electrodes using nano-manipulators inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM), directly impacting integrated circuit interconnect design. He further advances the field through molecular dynamics simulations that model contact behaviors between CNTs and metal surfaces, critical for optimizing CNT field-effect transistors and nanorobotic manipulation. In a forward-looking contribution, Yang developed a self-driving laboratory for accelerated on-surface synthesis under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV), automating complex synthesis processes that typically require stringent environmental control. His work also includes a novel AFM-SEM-based technique for determining Hamaker constants in CNT configurations. With a growing citation record and pioneering contributions to nanomanipulation, automated UHV synthesis, and CNT-metal contact physics, Quan Yang is shaping the future of nanoscale electronics and robotic-assisted materials discovery.
