Jie Yang

Jie Yang is a Faculty member in the Department of Chemistry at Tsinghua University. His research focuses on non-equilibrium molecular dynamics, with an emphasis on developing advanced scientific instrumentation and experimental methodologies. His work includes capturing nonadiabatic dynamics of small gas-phase molecules and exploring atomic-level spatiotemporal probes for liquid phase samples. Yang has contributed to the development of ultrafast electron diffraction techniques for studying molecular dynamics, including the first demonstration of using mega-electron-volt electron beams for diffraction imaging of gas phase molecules. He joined Tsinghua University's Center for Basic Molecular Science in March 2021.

Jie Yang is an Associate Professor at Tsinghua University, specializing in Ultrafast Electron Diffraction, Ultrafast Molecular Dynamics, and Excited State Dynamics. Their research focuses on capturing ultrafast structural and electronic changes in materials and molecules using advanced diffraction techniques. Key studies include imaging conical intersections, photodissociation dynamics, and hydrogen bond strengthening in liquid water. Yang's work also explores charge density waves, spin-mediated oscillators, and ultrafast phase transitions. Their research combines ultrafast electron pulses with high-energy diffraction to study molecular and material dynamics at the atomic scale, offering insights into fundamental photochemical and electronic processes.
