Princeton University as a Visiting Fellow for 2006/07
after winning the following awards:
- Asian Cultural Council Fellowship (2006)

Yang's Li Ka Shing Prize marks
the third such award for a postgraduate student from
the Department of Music, a feat not matched by any other
Department on campus. His thesis, Early Qin

qin scrolls, taken during Yang's research in
the Hikone Castle Museum in Japan, are now part of the
Digital Image Archive
of Medieval Music Manuscripts, an archive organized
by the University of Oxford and Royal Halloway University
of London.
