His broader research interests cover war and militarism, theories of materialism, and the industrial-technological histories of media, architecture, and infrastructure. At NYCU, he is collaborating with other scholars from law, management, and STS in the development of a new curriculum on the culture of platform, algorithm, and  gamification. Yang is currently completing a book manuscript titled Speculative Statecraft: Logistical Media and the Culture of the Chinese Cold War.
