Dr Boyang Shen holds a Research Fellowship at Clare Hall.

To date, he has published over 125 peer-reviewed journal articles (Science Citation Index, SCI), over 150 publications in total, and 3 ‘ESI Highly Cited Papers and 2 ESI Hot Papers’ (1st/corresponding author). He has written one book (sole-author, all chapters, Springer). His research includes the electromagnetics of High-temperature Superconductors (HTS), novel designs of emerging medical devices, and the large-scale applications for future transportations and electrical energy systems.

He serves as a Technical Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity Special Issues, and he is a Guest Editor of Electronics, and Magnetochemistry. He was awarded one of the Best Chairs of the IEEE 2020 International Conference on Applied Superconductivity and Electromagnetic Devices (ASEMD2020). He is the PI of two projects.

In 2018, he was awarded the world’s highest prize for graduates in the superconductivity community, the IEEE Council on Superconductivity Graduate Study Fellowship in Applied Superconductivity (six winners worldwide). He was awarded the IET Sir Henry Royce Award Finalist in the year of the IET 150th Anniversary (three finalists worldwide). In 2020, he was awarded the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng) Engineers Trust Young Engineer (five winners nationwide), recognising the scientists and engineers who have demonstrated excellence in the early stage of their career.

Dr Shen received the double Bachelor of Engineering (BEng, 1st Class Honours) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Cardiff University, UK, and North China Electric Power University (NCEPU), China, in 2012. He received the Master of Science (MSc) in Nuclear Engineering from Imperial College London in 2013. He received the Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Electrical Engineering in 2014 and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Electrical Engineering in 2018, both from the University of Cambridge.
