John WANG
Professor
Department of Materials Science and Engineering
Professor Wang’s research focuses on new functional ceramics, electroceramic and composite materials that are inevitably required for the next generation of energy generation and storage, electronics and healthcare. He has more than 30 years of teaching and research experience in functional materials and materials chemistry.
His research group has been working on novel fabrication techniques, and establishing correlations between structural parametersand functional properties. More recently, Professor Wang’s research focuses on carbon-based materials, nanohybrids and mesoporous materials for energy generation, energy storage and biomedical applications. He and his research group have successfully developed several types of new nanohybrids and mesoporous materials for applications in energy generation storage and drug delivery.
