Shengfeng Yang's work uses atomistic and computational simulations to study how tiny defects—like grain boundaries, vacancies, and dopants—affect the strength and behavior of metals and other materials at the nanoscale. Recent projects apply machine learning methods, including generative models, to predict how cracks and microstructures evolve in materials such as aluminum nitride and nanocrystalline metals. The publication record also includes some unrelated topics, such as marketing analytics, water treatment materials, and seismic response of tunnels, suggesting involvement in varied collaborative projects.
