Summary
Hankang Yang is a Senior Staff Engineer with 11 years of expertise in computational mechanics and FEA software development, blending deep academic training (PhD in Mechanical Engineering) with industry R&D leadership at ANSYS, MathWorks, and Synopsys. He builds high-performance simulation tools and GUIs using Fortran, C++, MATLAB and Python, and applies OpenMP and GPU techniques to accelerate nonlinear FEA workflows. His background spans CAE platforms (Abaqus, Ansys), data analysis (R), and hands-on experiment/data acquisition using LabView, enabling tight integration between simulation and physical testing. Known for translating research-grade methods into production-grade code, he frequently navigates both low-level numerical performance and user-facing tooling. Based in South Park Township, PA, he brings a rare combination of software engineering rigor and practical experimental experience that shortens the gap between models and measurements.
