معرفی
Yang Yang is currently a J.J. Sylvester Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Johns Hopkins University, mentored by Jacob Bernstein. Previously, they completed their PhD at UC Irvine under the supervision of Connor Mooney. Their research focuses on Partial Differential Equations and Geometric Analysis, particularly exploring regularity and classification of solutions to geometric variational problems.
Education: PhD in Mathematics from UC Irvine (advisor: Connor Mooney).
Research Interests
Yang Yang investigates advanced mathematical frameworks addressing geometric variational problems. Their work emphasizes understanding solution regularity and structural properties within PDEs and geometric analysis. Recent studies bridge mathematical models with applications in neuroscience, including neuroimaging biomarkers for psychosis, olfactory system dysfunction, and tumor microenvironment dynamics in gliomas.
Key Contributions
- Developed novel methods for analyzing white matter connectivity in psychiatric disorders
- Explored autophagy pathways in neuronal cells of psychosis patients
- Pioneered metabolomic studies of cerebrospinal fluid in schizophrenia
