Acoustic Levitation

Duyang Zang received his Ph.D. in Physics from Paris-Sud University in 2010. He is now a professor in the Department of Applied Physics, Northwestern Polytechnical University, China. He is interested in a wide range of researches in soft matter and complex fluids including capillary phenomena, droplet/bubble dynamics, Interfacial rheology and dynamics, mechanics and phase behaviors of soft matter. He authorized more than 70 peer-reviewed journal papers including Nature Communication, Physics Reports, Physical Review Fluids, Soft Matter, and Langmuir. In 2014, he won the Shaanxi Provincial Science and Technology Award. Since 2017, he has been serving as an editor on the editorial board of European Physical Journal E. He has guest-edited two topical issues in journals: Soft Matter – Web theme on droplet dynamics and manipulation and Physics of Fluids – Drops and Flows in Acoustics Levitation.
