He completed a postdoc at the University of Cambridge before he won a prestigious EU Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Bath, UK. He was awarded a prestigious UK NERC Fellowship to start his independent academic career and established the research group of Advanced Sensors for Water-Environment-Health nexus. He was appointed as a Lecturer (UK tenure in 2018) at James Watt School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow before the group moved to Cranfield University in 2019. Dr Yang is currently heading UKCRIC-funded sensors lab at Cranfield Water Science Institute (CWSI). His multidisciplinary team focuses on the development of low-cost, rapid and point-of-use sensors and devices for environmental science (e.g. microbial contamination in drinking water), public health (e.g. wastewater epidemiology for infectious disease including COVID-19, illicit drugs), and biomedical diagnostics (e.g. infectious disease and cancer). His research has been sponsored with over £2.5M, from UKRI (EPSRC, NERC, BBSRC), Royal Academy of Engineering and industry, leading to over 40 referred articles (H=21) including PNAS, ACS Nano, TrAC, ACS Sensors, Anal Chem, Biosens Bioelectron, ES&T, Water Res.
