Liqun Yang

I help UK companies, research organisations, universities and other innovation developers to fast track their innovative projects, working across all industry sectors as long as the innovation is focused around measurement or sensing technologies.

I work with people and organisations who are interested in developing innovations in sensors, sensor systems, measurement and instrumentation areas.

I help organisations make connections with other experts or organisations to collaborate, and offer advice on funding and applications, as well as on topics like building a case and commercialisation.

I support organisations from a wide sector range including engineering, energy, environment, agriculture, transport, manufacturing, life sciences and healthcare. I support them on projects around online monitoring, non-destructive testing, electronics, photonics, opto-electronics, spectroscopy, imaging, metrology, precision agriculture, diagnostics, thermometry, acoustic, ultrasonic sensors and measurement technologies.

Before I joined Innovate UK KTN, I worked in Knowledge Transfer/Exchange roles in R&D at GSK and at King’s College London. I have also extensively researched novel sensing technologies for the biopharmaceutical industry and oil & gas industry.
