Professor Bin Yang
Professor
Biography
Dr Yang graduated from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China, in 2001. He received MSc and PhD degrees in Electronic Engineering in 2004 and 2008 respectively, from the Antenna and Electromagnetics Group of the Department of Electronic Engineering, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), UK. Following the completion of his PhD, Dr Yang continued his research journey as a Postdoctoral Researcher within the Antenna and Electromagnetics Group at QMUL. In September 2013, he transitioned to the University of Bolton as a Lecturer, later joined the University of Chester as a Senior Lecturer in September 2015. Subsequently, he was promoted to Associate Professor of Terahertz Engineering in 2019 and Professor of Electromagnetics and Measurements in 2023. Professor Yang has supervised 11 PhD students to successful completion and has published over 60 peer reviewed articles, including prestigious journals such as Nature Communications, Nano Energy, and Advanced Electronic Materials. He has a google scholar H index of 24 with around 2600 citations. He has attracted significant research income as Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator.
