Prof. Minye Yang’s Lab of Non-Hermitian Physics and Engineering at Northwestern Polytechnical University explores fundamental wave phenomena in open physical systems, including spectral singularities, non-Hermitian topology, abnormal wave transport, resonance engineering, and enhanced wave-matter interactions. These concepts provide new ways to control wave propagation, enhance responses to weak perturbations, and create functionalities beyond those available in conventional Hermitian systems.

Our group is particularly interested in realizing non-Hermitian physics across diverse wave platforms, including optics, photonics, acoustics, microwave systems, electronic circuits, and integrated on-chip devices. Building on these platforms, we develop next-generation technologies for ultrasensitive sensing, wireless telemetry, topological wave manipulation, information security, etc. A particular focus is to translate non-Hermitian concepts realized in electromagnetic systems into healthcare technologies, enabling practical biomedical monitoring, intelligent diagnostics, and user-oriented sensing systems. These collaborations have resulted in several high-impact publications and have laid the groundwork for future partnerships that will drive innovation in the field of non-Hermitian physics and engineering.
