Xiang Yang is a Distinguished Engineer and Sr. Director specializing in non-volatile memory and storage technologies, with a decade of hands-on experience taking ideas from patent and trade-secret stages through commercialization in the multi-billion-dollar NAND/SSD market. He combines deep device and materials expertise (3D NAND, NOR, ReRAM) with system-level algorithm, firmware and interface knowledge (PCIe/NVMe), enabling measurable gains in performance, reliability, power and cost. A prolific inventor with 50+ US patents (40+ as lead) and numerous trade secrets, Xiang has a track record of converting “impossible” technical challenges into product features under tight schedules. He is equally fluent in device characterization and lab instrumentation as he is in software and automation (Python, C/C++, Java, Matlab), bridging lab-to-product gaps that many leaders cannot. Based in California and grounded in a PhD in Materials Science, he brings rare cross-disciplinary fluency across semiconductor process, device physics, and storage-system architecture.
