Congratulations to Dr. Ge Yang, one of four university faculty members, selected as a NC State University Provost Faculty Fellow.

The Provost’s Faculty Fellows Program supports talented faculty in the exploration of academic leadership roles at the university’s highest levels. Current NC State faculty interested in learning more about academic affairs administration can hone their skills as faculty leaders by collaborating closely with the Provost’s Office staff on projects that are meaningful to them and the university.

Dr. Yang’s research interests lie at the intersection of nuclear engineering, materials science and engineering, chemical engineering, and electrical engineering. Special emphasis is placed on developing new materials and devices for improving radiation detection and imaging technologies, which are widely needed in medical imaging, nuclear energy, nonproliferation, nuclear security, industrial process monitoring, environmental safety survey and remediation, astronomical observation instrumentation and high energy physics R&D. Yang is also interested in investigating radiation effects in electronic, optical and structural materials and developing radiation-resistant materials.
