The University of Huddersfield’s Professor Xiangqian Jiang – known to her colleagues as Jane – has received a Damehood conferred on her in the 2017 Queen’s Birthday Honours.

The Chinese-born scientist, a world-leading researcher in the field of metrology, was formally created a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace. The honour was conferred for Dame Jane’s services to engineering and manufacturing. Today she is the director of the £40m Future Metrology Hub located within the university’s Centre for Precision Technologies.
