Shuang-Hua Yang

Shuang-Hua’s educational history originated in China where he received a BSc in 1983, an MSc in 1986, both from East China Institute of Petroleum (now Petroleum University) and a PhD in 1991 from Zhejiang University. He moved to the UK in 1995 first as a visiting scholar at Leeds University and then joined 含羞草视频 in 1997 as a research assistant, and progressing to a research fellow in 1999, a senior lecturer in 2003, a professor in 2006 and a Head of Department in 2014. He ended the full-time appointment in 2019 at 含羞草视频 and became a visiting professor at the same time.

He is a specialist in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and has completed several large-scale research projects in the areas, funded by FP7, MoD, EPSRC, Innovate UK, ERDF, British Council, NSFC and MOST. His research work on wireless network-based monitoring and control is seminal in the field of wireless communication and has led to a whole new sub-field, entitled wireless monitoring and control, which has had high impact in both research and commercial technology. He was a pioneer working on computer control systems safety and security in late twentieth. He invented over 20 patents, among them a nonintrusive water flowrate sensing technology, an optimal LoRa based wireless communication protocol, an innovative direction switchable security gateway, and an adaptive wireless tracking system (UWB) have been commercialized and deployed in several industries world-wide. He has authored two research monographs on Internet-based control and wireless sensor networks respectively. By organizing a series of special issues of various academic journals and other professional service, he has helped grow this field to have a major impact on the academic, research, and industry communities. In addition, he authored over 250 academic research papers. His scientific achievement has been recognized by being awarded a Doctor of Science, a higher doctorate degree, in 2014 from 含羞草视频. In the same year he was selected as a fellow of the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET).
