Dr. Yan Liu is a specialist technical translator and engineering consultant with a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from The University of Manchester and more than 10 years of industrial R&D experience in advanced composites, manufacturing technologies, and engineering innovation.
As a native Mandarin speaker fluent in English, Yan combines deep technical knowledge with linguistic precision to deliver accurate, industry-specific translations between English and Chinese. Her professional background includes leading complex engineering projects, preparing technical documentation, supporting patent applications, collaborating with multinational research teams, and working directly with customers to develop advanced manufacturing solutions.
Unlike general translators, Yan understands the engineering principles behind the documents she translates. Her expertise spans composite materials, filament winding technologies, hydrogen storage systems, carbon fibre manufacturing, recycling technologies, product development, research reports, technical specifications, operating manuals, patents, and scientific publications.
By combining technical expertise with professional language skills, Yan helps engineering companies, manufacturers, research organisations, and technology innovators communicate complex information clearly and accurately across international markets.
