Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYi Yang is a Senior Algorithm Engineer with a PhD in nuclear physics and nine years focused on advanced x‑ray imaging and CT algorithm development. He has bridged fundamental research and product-driven engineering across academia and industry, publishing over 50 papers on topics such as x‑ray phase contrast imaging, artifact reduction, dual‑energy CT, and photon‑counting CT. At companies and research centers including Emory and Campo Medical Imaging, he developed spectra‑based correction methods, multi‑material decomposition, and scatter/beam‑hardening solutions now used in practical CT workflows. His background in nonlinear dynamics, plasma physics and remote sensing gives him a unique ability to translate complex physical models into robust computational algorithms. Currently leading physical correction and decomposition work at Vital Research Institute, he combines deep theory with hands‑on implementation for next‑generation medical imaging. An often overlooked strength is his long track record of cross‑disciplinary problem solving, from radiation hydrodynamics to clinical imaging applications.
