Yang Zhao's work centers on multiphase flow measurement and thermal-fluid engineering, including instruments (conductivity probes, sensors) and machine-learning methods to identify flow patterns in pipes and channels relevant to nuclear reactor cooling systems. The publication record also spans related applied engineering topics such as boiling heat transfer, pumping equipment design, electromagnetics, and oil/gas well engineering, suggesting a broad, applied-engineering portfolio rather than a single narrow specialty.
