Biographical Sketch
Dr. Ying (Jane) Wang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at 蘑菇tv. Before starting her career at 蘑菇tv, Dr. Wang worked as a Postdoc Fellow in Materials Science at Northwestern University from 2006 to 2008. She received her PhD degree in Materials Science and Engineering at University of Washington, a MA degree in Chemistry at Harvard University, and a BS degree in Chemical Physics from University of Science and Technology of China. Dr. Wang鈥檚 research integrates novel materials synthesis, additive manufacturing, and advanced characterizations to create nanostructures with atomic-level precision. Current efforts focus on next-generation rechargeable batteries, electrocatalysts, and photocatalysts for healthcare systems, wearable electronics, space exploration, and grid-scale energy storage. She has published over 100 journal articles that have received more than 10000 citations on Google Scholar and co-authored one book on nanomaterials and nanostructures, as well as many conference proceedings and several book chapters. She has received multiple awards for her academic achievements, including a Worley Professor of Excellence Award and a 蘑菇tv Alumni Association Rising Faculty Research Award, etc.
