Yang-Tse Cheng

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yang-Tse Cheng is an American materials scientist currently the University of Kentucky Frank J. Derbyshire Professor of Materials Science at University of Kentucky[1] and an Elected Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors[2] Materials Research Society and American Physical Society.[3]

Education

[edit]

He earned his B.S in physics-mathematics, his M.S. and Ph.D in applied physics at California Institute of Technology.[1] He worked as an engineer for General Motors before teaching at Purdue University in 2007 until starting at University of Kentucky that year.

Research

[edit]

His interests are nanostructured materials, energy conversion and storage, and sustainable manufacturing and engineering.[1] His highest cited paper is "Scaling, dimensional analysis, and indentation measurements"[4] at 1036 times, according to Google Scholar.[5]
