Prof. Wenxian Yang received the Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an, China, in 1999. He completed his postdoctoral research at Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an, China, in 2001. He was with the City University of Hong Kong, Kowloon, Hong Kong; Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, U.K.; Cranfield University, Cranfield, U.K.; Durham University, Durham, U.K.; the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, Blyth, U.K; and Newcastle University, Newcastle, U.K. He is now a Professor with University of Huddersfield. His research interests include marine and offshore renewable energy, signal processing, machine condition monitoring, and artificial intelligence in both industry and academia. Professor Yang also focuses on ensuring the safety of fixed foundations for offshore wind turbines by designing countermeasure devices to combat scour caused by tidal currents. Additionally, he strives to improve the power generation efficiency of wind and tidal current turbines by pioneering biomimetic airfoil/hydrofoil technologies. His efforts extend to increasing the economic viability of offshore floating wind turbines through the development of motion-stable floating platform technologies. He is currently the Associate Editor of IET Renewable Power Generation, Springer Nature, and Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering.
