Profile
Dr Wang is currently a Research Fellow at the University of New South Wales. Dr. Wang obtained his BS degree in polymer materials from Hefei University of Technology in China in 2013. After that, he moved to University of Science and Technology of China and joined the joint PhD programme with City University of Hong Kong and obtained his PhD from both Universities under the guidance of Prof. Yuan Hu and Prof. Kim Meow Liew in 2019. In the same year, he joined Prof Guan Heng Yeoh’s group at University of New South Wales as postdoctoral fellow. Dr. Wang’s research focuses on three directions: 1) Bioinspired assembly: to design and fabricate hierarchical structures and interfacing materials inspired by nature for advanced performance; 2) Safety of lithium batteries: to develop advanced separators and electrolytes for safe lithium batteries and to evaluate the fire risk of commercial batteries; 3) Nanocomposites: to prepare high-performance polymer/nanofillers composites, membranes and fibres (including bio-based natural materials) with advanced functions.
