Woodward Yang

Woodward Yang holds the Gordon McKay Professorship in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Harvard University, where his research focuses on VLSI systems, imaging, and neural interfaces. Yang earned his undergraduate degree from the University of California before completing his Ph.D. in electrical engineering at MIT, where his fellowship began in 1984. His research at Harvard has produced innovations in low-power VLSI design, neuromorphic imaging systems, and implantable neural recording devices—work at the intersection of silicon technology and neuroscience with potential applications in brain-computer interfaces and the treatment of neurological disorders.
