Eui-Hyeok Yang

Eui-Hyeok Yang is a tenured Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology, part of the Charles V. Schaefer School of Engineering and Science. He holds leadership roles, including Editor-in-Chief of Synthesis, Modeling and Characterization of Two-Dimensional Materials, and has held visiting professorships at Columbia University and Kyunghee University.

Education: PhD (1996) and earlier degrees in Electrical/Control Engineering from Ajou University, followed by postdocs at Caltech's JPL (MEMS) and the University of Tokyo (MEMS via JSPS). Research focuses on 2D van der Waals materials, nanotechnology, and quantum phenomena, with emphasis on next-gen semiconductors and energy systems.

Key honors include Fellowships from ASME, National Academy of Inventors, and IEEE Sensors Council. Awards span technical innovations at NASA JPL (e.g., piezoelectric microvalves, deformable mirrors) and academic recognition for 2D materials research. Over $11M in grants include Army-funded projects on quantum sensing and graphene-based devices.

Professional service includes editorial roles for IEEE Sensors, Scientific Reports, and ASME journals, plus leadership in MEMS Division and IEEE Nanotechnology Council. Active in patents (18+), including innovations in smart polymers, 2D heterostructures, and graphene printing.

Research interests span nanomaterials synthesis, quantum devices, flexible electronics, and environmental applications like oil cleanup. Courses taught include nanotechnology fundamentals, MEMS, and advanced materials engineering.
