Qiang Yang serves as an Assistant Professor in the School of Packaging at Michigan State University since August 2022, specializing in sustainable materials innovation for packaging systems.
Education:
- Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Pulp and Paper Engineering
- First Ph.D. in Polymer Chemistry and Physics (Zhejiang University)
- Second Ph.D. in Biological Systems Engineering (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
His research program targets six interconnected domains of cellulosic packaging:
- Low-cost cellulose production from wood for sustainable packaging substrates
- Advanced material engineering of films, foams, and aerogels with enhanced barrier/mechanical properties
- Recycling methodologies using enzymatic and mechanical treatments for material reuse
- Smart packaging integration of biosensors, gas sensors, and environmental indicators
- Functional coatings using lignin-based formulations and cellulose nanocrystal inks
- Waste valorization converting unrecyclable packaging into fuels and chemicals
Teaching includes PKG 322: Packaging with Paper and Paperboard. No information regarding scientific awards, student advising, or grant funding was provided in the source materials.
