Chao Yang's research focuses on civil engineering materials, particularly asphalt pavement technology, including the recycling and rejuvenation of aged asphalt, nanomaterial-based modifications to improve durability and aging resistance, and related concrete and composite construction materials. The work combines laboratory experiments, molecular simulations, and material characterization to improve the performance and sustainability of road and infrastructure materials. Some publications also touch on related engineering topics such as porous metal composites and biomass/coal co-firing.
Publication output has grown substantially over the last decade, rising from just 1 paper per year in 2017-2018 to a peak of around 17-18 per year in 2023-2024, with output remaining high in 2025.
