Dr. Yan Wang is one of the UK’s leading researchers in remanufacturing, having published 50+ papers in manufacturing and granted 10 patents. Dr Wang serves the BSI technical group BS8887 which gives the definition of remanufacturing, and contributed to the forthcoming Part 3 of BS8887 “the Guide to choosing an appropriate end-of-life strategy”. She is an active reviewer of several highly rated journals and a Member of the Editorial Board of “China Surface Engineering”. She is the Secretary of the Sino-UK Low Carbon Manufacturing Consortium supported by EPSRC network fund (EP/J007870/1). She has organised several UK–China workshops in remanufacturing attended by senior government policy makers from the UK (e.g. BEIS, DIT, UKRI), China (e.g. Minister of Information and Industry Technology (MIIT)), standards development agencies, and industry associations. These workshops are the highest-level meetings of this kind between China and the UK in the area of remanufacturing to date. Before she moved to the UoB from the University of Nottingham, Ningbo Campus, she led a ¥9m RMB project (approx. £1m) called Innovation Team in Low Carbon Manufacture of Automotive Parts.
