Biography

Ming Yang's research focuses on complex engineered systems such as energy, chemical, and maritime infrastructures, particularly in the context of uncertainty brought about by the energy transition, digitalization, and climate change. His work emphasizes the development of risk-resilience-based design and operation methodologies for complex process systems, aiming to evolve traditional, static system safety assessment strategies. Yang is dedicated to creating dynamic quantitative process risk resilience assessment models that capture the evolution of system safety over time, particularly in the face of disruptions. Furthermore, he seeks to make resilience measurable and actionable, supporting engineers, operators, and regulators in designing and operating systems that can anticipate, withstand, and recover from unexpected events. As the lead of the Process Resilience Group, he aims to develop predictive tools and decision frameworks that will help industries maintain safe, secure, and efficient operations despite disruptions. Yang's expertise includes safety evaluation assessments, risk assessment, and accident prevention, and he serves on several editorial boards for esteemed safety and engineering journals.
