Yang Zhang

Dr. Yang Zhang is a Professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and currently serves as a Visiting Scientist at the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids (MPI CPfS) in Dresden, Germany, where he is affiliated with the Topological Quantum Chemistry department. His research focuses on correlation, topology, and quantum transport phenomena in novel materials.

His primary research domains include:

• Topological Materials
• Quantum Transport
• Condensed Matter Theory
• Quantum Chemistry
• Machine Learning for Materials Simulation

At MPI CPfS, Dr. Zhang supervises PhD research on critical topics:

• Machine learning for hidden order detection and large-scale material simulation (with Prof. Dr. Jeroen van den Brink and Prof. Dr. Claudia Felser)
• Chirality-induced quantum transport in heterostructures (with Prof. Dr. Claudia Felser)
