Background
Dr Zhguen Yang joined Cranfield University as a Lecturer (2019-22) and Senior Lecturer (2022-), after being a Lecturer at the University of Glasgow. He was awarded a prestigious UK NERC Fellowship in 2018 to lead a group in developing advanced sensors for water-environment-health-nexus. He completed his postdoc at the University of Cambridge, an EU Marie Curie Fellow at the Universities of Bath and Glasgow. He received his PhD at the University of Lyon (Ecole Centrale, France), MSc (SYSU), and BEng (HIT) in China.
His research has been sponsored by a variety of sources (~£3m) including UKRI (EPSRC, NERC, BBSRC), the Royal Society, the Royal Academy of Engineering, and industrial and governmental sectors (e.g., UKHSA, Home Office, EA), leading to over 60 referred articles (including PNAS, Nature Communications, ES&T, Water Res, ACS Nano, H=31 as of Oct 2022), several UK/PCT patents and a number of invited/keynote talks at international conferences. The key technology around low-cost sensors has led to a spin-out company at Cranfield.
Dr Yang is recognized globally for his work in developing a low-cost origami-paper device for the rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases, especially recently on the rapid testing of sewage for early warning of Covid-19 within the population, which is part of the UK national wastewater surveillance programme (N-WESP). His work has received many national and international awards including a recent James J Morgan ACS ES&T Early Career Award- Honorable Mention 2021, and numerous media coverages(e.g., BBC News, Washington Post, Yahoo, and China Daily, etc). The origami-paper device is currently featured at London Science Museum.
Research opportunities
We are consistently recruiting talented researchers/students in the areas of sensors, microfluidics, paper-based devices, molecular diagnostics, water quality, environmental health, and wastewater-based epidemiology, please get in touch for discussion on the potential funding opportunities. We typically recruit 2-3 students each year to ensure quality supervision.
Researcher students: [1] PhD candidates (3-4 years); [2] MSc by Research (12 months lab work to get MSc, optional to extend two years more for a PhD degree; [3] Visiting research students/placements/internships (no less than three months, ideally 6 months or more)
Postdoc, Fellowship, and Visiting Scholar: We currently have openings for a 30-month PDRA on CRISPR/Cas systems with artificial cells for biocomputing (the job advert comes soon). Welcome to be in touch with a background in synthetic biology, microfluidics, and biocomputing.
We are always keen to support talented scientists as Research Fellows, and visiting Fellows/scholars to apply for a third funding source (e.g. CSC, Leverhulme Trust, Royal Commission 1851, UK Newton fellowship, EU Marie Curie Fellowship) to explore exciting scientific research.
Current activities
Dr Yang is currently leading the UKCRIC-funded Advanced Sensors Laboratory at Cranfield University. His multidisciplinary team 'Advanced Sensors for Water-Environment-Health nexus', 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. infectious, illicit drugs), and biomedical diagnostics (e.g. infectious disease and cancer) with major grants below.
Dr Yang serves as editor of a special issue for TrAC -Trends in Analytical Chemistry (IF 14.9), Chemosphere (IF 8.9), Associate Editor for Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology (IF 6.0); Editorial Advisory/ECR Board for Advance in Sample Preparation (Elsevier), Environment Science & Ecotechnology (Elsevier IF 9.8), co-chairing/session-chairing the international conference. He leads a working group on environmental sensors and wastewater surveillance sponsored by UKRI BBSRC EBNet.
