Hong Yang was born in Yong’an, Fujian Province, China. He grew up and received early education in his hometown before he went to undergraduate study in University of Science and Technology in Hefei, China. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Geochemistry in 2015. He then pursued a Master’s degree at the Center for High Pressure Science and Technology Advanced Research (HPSTAR), specializing in Condensed Matter Physics. In 2018, he joined Stanford University to work on his PhD in mineral physics. While at Stanford, his research includes noble gases interaction with silicates, metal-water reactions and the deformation and heating of metals under laser shock. He also works on deciphering the magnetic information from deep sea sediments to understand the movement of crust and mantle. He was the department brown bag organizer, student wellness liaison, and served in leadership roles in the Stanford Alpine Project. He is now a postdoctoral research scholar working with Prof. Hongwu Xu.
