Hello, my name is Cheng Yang and I'm a Phd student of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. My main research area is experimental physics of soft condensed matter(complex fluid). A current project I'm still working on involves a systematic study of wetting behavior in surfactant contained systems. 

   I will get my Phd degree early this year(2007). Now I'm looking for a postdoctoral position in soft-matter related experimental group. Please contact me if your group has a vacancy.

My address is:
