He completed a postdoc at the University of Cambridge before he was awarded a prestigious EU Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Bath. He won 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 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 the sensors lab at Water Science Institute (CWSI) at Cranfield University. 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, illicit drugs), and biomedical diagnostics (e.g. infectious disease and cancer). His research has been sponsored with over £1.2 million, from UKRI (EPSRC, NERC, BBSRC), Royal Academy of Engineering and industry, leading to over 40 referred articles (including PNAS, ACS Sensors, Anal Chem, Biosens Bioelectron, ES&T, Water Res) and a number of conference presentation.
