Background
Prior to her Ph.D. work with QFC, Yang received a master's degree at QFC under the advisement of Dr. Jim Bence. Her master research focused on simulation modeling and management strategy evaluation to evaluate spatial assessment approaches, and the effect of assessment frequency on fishery management performance. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Marine Science from Shanghai Ocean University.
Research
Yang is interested in research on stock assessment methods, spatial population dynamics and management, harvest control rules evaluations, and dynamics of lake whitefish populations in Lake Huron. Yang’s current research projects include: developing spatial models to estimate the movement rates of lake whitefish populations in Lake Huron, evaluating how environmental and other factors impact fish movement distance, developing spatial assessment approaches based on management strategy evaluation, and proposing innovative approaches for defining appropriate management boundary for mixing stocks.
