- 2012 — Subject of a Taiwanese American documentary: Yang’s UCLA solar-energy research was featured in the documentary Catching the Invisible Light (dir. Ho Chie), which reached the Focus Forward semi-finalist / Audience Award track at Sundance. In the accompanying community interview, the filmmaker — also Taiwanese American — described discovering Professor Yang’s Taiwanese heritage while prepping the shoot: “He was very supportive of the documentary… it really shows how diverse we are as a community. I feel that it is important to support members of our community, especially when there are so few.” Source: Catching the Invisible Light (TAO interview, 2012).
