Christopher Yang
Lecturer, Civic, Liberal, and Global Education
BioChristopher Yang is a historian of early Chinese religions who studies the texts and traditions of Warring States and early imperial China (roughly, those dating between the 5th c. BCE and the early 3rd c. CE). He is working on a book manuscript, based on his dissertation, that shows how a set of enduring ideas about the body, mind, spirit (神) and the scope of human powers was forged in exchanges between early practitioners of sacrifice, self-cultivation, medicine, and esoterica. His broader research interests concern the body and materiality; religious ethics; the relationship between text and practice; and later receptions of early Chinese texts.

Da Yang
Assistant Professor Geophysics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on atmospheric convection and clouds—the major sources of uncertainty in predicting future climate change. Key questions in this field include: What makes air rise to form clouds? How do individual convective clouds organize into expansive rainstorms? How does convection work in warmer climates? I combine theory, observations, numerical models, and machine learning methods to address these most fundamental yet challenging questions.
