Associate Professor Jize Yan PhD

Associate Professor

I am an Associate Professor in the University of Southampton. I received the first degree from Tsinghua University in China, and Ph.D. degree from the University of Cambridge. I was a Research Assistant, Research Associate, Senior Research Associate and Principal Investigator in the University of Cambridge.

My research work led to 80+ peer-reviewed publications, 9 patents and a list of best paper awards. As investigator or co-investigator, I have secured £12Mn+ research grants from various sources. I have worked with 30+ industrial collaborators. I served as an editorial board member for several international journals, and a reviewer of 18 journals. I am a scientific peer reviewer of grant applications for 2 countries and a technology reviewer for 2 venture capitals. I have a joint lab with UC Berkeley and collaborations with Chinese Academy of Science and Singapore CREATE Centre.

I have co-founded two companies in the field of Wireless Sensor Network (Wisen Innovation Ltd, www.wiseninnovation.co.uk) and Energy Harvesting (8Power Ltd, www.8power.co.uk) for industrial applications. My students have recently formed a Digital Tracking Company for Pharmaceutical application (Serket Technology Ltd, www.healthera.co.uk).

I am a member of Southampton Nanofabrication Centre (www.southampton-nanofab.com), the Zepler Institute (www.zeplerinstitute.ac.uk) and the Centre for Risk Research (https://www.southampton.ac.uk/risk).
