Research interests include:
- Redox chemistry of organic carbon
- Quinone and organic ligand analysis
- High-resolution mass spectrometry
- Metabolomics
- Climate change impacts
- Water reuse technologies
The Yang Lab develops methods to identify reactive organic carbon species like quinones and lignin-derived ligands, using chemical tagging and advanced analytical techniques. Recent projects examine biochar-mediated dehalogenation, wildfire effects on watersheds, Arctic pollutant exposure, and contaminant fate at rubberized asphalt interfaces.
