Hi there! Welcome to my website! My Chinese name is Quanpeng Yang (杨全鹏), and my English name is Samtari which was made up by myself by reordering the letters in “I am astr. (astronaut or astronomer)”, because I have always been dreaming to be a scientist exploring the unknown world!
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at North Carolina State University under the guidance of Prof. Yaroslava Yingling. Before that I was a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at Duke University under the guidance of Prof. Gaurav Arya. Before that, I graduated with a Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering under Prof. Ashlie Martini’s supervision at the University of California, Merced.
My motto is the famous slogan of Nike:
Just do it!
I believe most people have the potential to achieve most of the things they want to achieve as long as they use the right methods and work hard. Just as Mel Robbins, a speaker of TED, pointed out:
Getting what you want is simple. – by Mel Robbins
