Yang did her master at the University of Melbourne, working on optical trapping and time-resolved fluorescence lifetime microscopy. She is currently a PhD student working under the supervision of Trevor Smith and Ken Ghiggino at the University of Melbourne.
Yang's PhD project is focusing on investigating photoluminescent materials with advanced microscopic methods. These potentially include structured illumination microscopy (SIM), stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED), time-resolved evanescent wave induced fluorescence (TR-EWIFS) spectroscopy, transient absorption microscopy (TAM), etc.
