Senior🎓
Top SchoolJerry Yang is a research-focused materials engineer and PhD candidate at Stanford with nine years of experience studying 2D transition metal dichalcogenides for flexible, classical, and quantum device applications. His work centers on strain engineering and the effects of defects and radiation on the optical and electrical properties of TMDs, carried out in Prof. Eric Pop’s lab and building on prior heterostructure growth experience from UT Austin. He pairs hands-on device and materials fabrication with data-driven process improvements from industry internships at Texas Instruments and The Aerospace Corporation, where he applied additive manufacturing and production tracking methods. Jerry also holds an MA in Education and actively researches diversity, equity, and inclusion in engineering education, bringing a pedagogy-minded perspective to technical mentorship. Based in Palo Alto, he combines high-impact experimental rigor with practical manufacturing insight, often approaching materials problems with both device-scale and systems-level thinking.
