`
`PROFESSIONAL BIOGRAPHY
`
`Vigor Yang received his Ph.D. degree from the California Institute of Technology in 1984. Following
`one year as Research Fellow in Jet Propulsion at Caltech, he joined the Pennsylvania State University
`(PSU) in August 1985, becoming the John L. and Genevieve H. Chair in Engineering in 2006. In January
`2009 he began his tenure as the William R.T. Oakes Professor and Chair of the Daniel Guggenheim
`School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
`Teaching. Yang has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics,
`heat transfer, propulsion, combustion, and mathematics. He has delivered numerous professional short
`courses and lectures on nonsteady combustion and flow dynamics in propulsion and power-generation
`systems. Yang received the PSU Engineering Society Outstanding Teaching Award in 1989.
`Research. Yang’s research encompasses a wide spectrum of topics, including (1) combustion
`instabilities in propulsion and power-generation systems, (2) chemically reacting flows in air-breathing
`and rocket engines, (3) combustion of energetic materials, (4) high-pressure transport phenomena and
`combustion, (5) active control of gas-turbine combustion dynamics, and (6) nano technologies for
`propulsion and energetic applications. He has established, as the principal or co-principal investigator,
`more than 69 research projects, including nine (9) DoD-MURI projects. He has been awarded more
`than $32.5M to date in research funding.
`Yang has supervised 49 Ph.D. and 20 M.S. theses, and worked with 32 post-doctoral scholars, research
`associates, and visiting professors. At the present time, ten Ph.D. students and four research staff are
`working under his direction. Yang’s research findings are described in 180 archival journal papers
`(including 10 comprehensive reviews) and over 200 conference papers. He has published 11 books and 6
`dedicated journal issues in the areas of propulsion, combustion and energetics. His papers have been
`cited more than 10,000 times (Google Scholar Citations), especially significant considering the relatively
`small number of open publications in his fields of interest. His books have sold more than 6000 copies.
`Yang’s work on swirl-stabilized combustion, published in 2009 (PECS, Vol. 35, pp. 293-364), was one of
`the top 3 most downloaded papers in combustion from ScienceDirect during 2005-2015, with 13,955
`downloads as of August 1, 2015. His paper on combustion of nano aluminum (C&F, Vol. 156, pp. 5-13)
`was in the top 10 most cited papers in combustion and flame in 2012-2014.
`Yang has received awards and medals from the AIAA, ASME, and other national and international
`professional societies.
`Service. A Fellow of the ASME, AIAA, and Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), Yang was the Vice
`President for Publications of the AIAA (2012-2015). He was the editor-in-chief of the AIAA Journal of
`Propulsion and Power (2000-2009), and the Joint Army-Navy-NASA-Air Force (JANNAF) Journal of
`Propulsion and Energetics (2009-2012). He is currently one of the two editors of the Aerospace Book
`Series of the Cambridge University Press (2010-). Yang has served on the editorial advisory boards of
`virtually all the major journals in the fields of combustion, propulsion, and energetic, including AIAA
`Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics; Progress in Energy and Combustion Science; Combustion and
`Flame; JANNAF Journal of Propulsion and Energetics; Journal of Aeronautics, Astronautics, and
`Aviation; Journal of Chinese Institute of Engineers; International Journal of Fluid Machinery and
`Systems; Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves; Chinese Journal of Aeronautics; and Acta
`Mechanica Sinica.
`Yang is the founder of the International Symposium on Liquid Space Propulsion, a professional
`organization established in 1993 with membership by invitation. He has consulted with many
`government and industrial organizations, including NASA, DoD, ESA, JAXA, GE, Pratt & Whitney,
`Rolls Royce, Siemens, Aerojet-Rocketdyne, and ATK-Thiokol. In addition, he serves on or has served
`on a large number of steering committees and review/advisory boards for government agencies and
`universities in the U.S. and abroad.
`Yang is the Secretary of Section of Aerospace Engineering of the National Academy of Engineering
`(2016-2018).
