Biography

Professionally trained in Medicine, Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Psychometrics, with over three decades’ career, Dr. Yang is a Senior Biostatistician-Psychometrician and Established Methodologist, Interdisciplinary Investigator and Productive Collaborator, and Veteran Educator. Also, he is a tireless striver of “Academic and Athletic Excellence”, which echoes exactly the motto at the entrance of the FAU Sports Complex.

Earlier in his career, Professor Yang was focusing on collaborative research, working closely with investigators across wide range of disciplines, including but not limited to Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Public Health, and Social-Behavior Sciences. As of July 2026, he has authored 157 peer-reviewed publications, with the majority as a co-author. Dr. Yang is also a very productive collaborator on grant applications. Since 2008, as the MPI, Method Core Co-Lead, Method Expert, Co-I Statistician, or Psychometrician, he has collaborated with over 100 PIs or teams on grant applications, primarily from federal agencies (e.g., NIH, PCORI). Among them, at least 31 grants (17 are R01 or equivalent and above) got funded, totaling over $66 Million, in the USA and Europe. At least seven (7) PIs at PSU, NYU, and UMass obtained his or her first major grant (NIH P50, R01, PCORI, etc.) through close collaboration with Dr. Yang.

Since 2013, Dr. Yang has gradually put more efforts towards self-initiated research focusing on Innovative Design (ID), Measurement & Outcome (MO), and Analysis Strategy (AS). As a Methodologist with a Medical background, he is passionate about inventing better Designs, Outcomes, and Strategies. Currently, Dr. Yang is focusing on 1) ID, as the originator of a) the CREID [Complementary Randomized controlled trial and real-world study (a.k.a., real-world evidence) for Efficacy, effectiveness, or Implementation Design. Joint Statistical Meeting (JSM) 2026], and b) the SCTD [Seamless Case-Control, Cohort, and Randomized Controlled Trials Design. Society for Clinical Trials (SCT) 2023]; 2) MO, as the inventor, evaluator, or reviser of multiple popular and important outcome measures, scales, and indexes, including the SF-36, MDS-UPDRS, RBANS, OCDUS, OHIP, etc.; 3) AS, as the originator of the R3 (Rescue through Refinement and Re-analysis, Yang & Vrana 2018) Strategy to rescue positive findings buried in "negative" studies. Professor Yang is the Lead/Last author of 43/33 peer-reviewed publications as of July 2026.

As a passionate educator, Dr. Yang has been teaching the following Graduate Courses in the USA, all as the Course Director and Solve Instructor, with excellent (e.g., 7/7) Students’ Evaluation: 1) Scientific Writing, NYU, 2019, 2020; 2) Clinical Trials, PSU, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017; 3)Biostatistics, PSU, 2014, 2015, and 2016, and 4) SRMA (Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis), Online, 2018 - 2025. Since 2009, he has been working closely with colleagues on UME (Undergraduate Medical Education) and GME (Graduate Medical Education) programs at PSU, UMass, and FAU. These include but are not limited to serving on Medical Student Research (MSR) committee, working part-time in Office for Scholarship in Learning and Education Research (OSLER), etc. In addition, Professor Yang has been a Statistical /Psychometric Advisor/Mentor to 15 faculty colleagues at UMass, Tufts, NYU, and PSU, ranking from Instructor to Full Professor.

Beside Academics, Dr. Yang also has a sincere passion in Athletics ever since his early life. He has been very serious in multiple sports, specialized in Badminton. Over the years, he has won many titles in Badminton tournaments, including the State Games of America. Dr. Yang has been the Founding Chair of Badminton Clubs at multiple institutes and is currently working to establish one for FAU.
