Biography

Born in 1977, Dr. Wang earned his B.S. in Polymer Science and Engineering with a second major in Applied Mathematics from East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST, Shanghai) in 1997. Continuing at ECUST, he completed his M.S. in Polymer Science and Engineering in 2000, where he studied synthesis and photophysical properties of novel conjugated polymers. Dr. Wang received his Ph.D. in Polymer Science from the University of Akron, Ohio in December 2003. His doctoral studies focused on chain dynamics of binary polymer blends using rheological and pulsed gradient NMR methods. In 2004, Dr. Wang joined Mayo Clinic (Rochester, Minnesota) as a Research Fellow where he developed a series of novel crosslinkable and degradable polymeric systems for bone and nerve regeneration, and investigated the interactions between cells/tissues and polymer substrates/scaffolds. In 2007 Dr. Wang joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Tennessee as a tenure-track assistant professor. Dr. Wang was promoted to associate professor with tenure in 2013. His research interests include biomaterials and tissue engineering, polymer chemistry, physics and rheology. Dr. Wang held a joint faculty appointment with the Biosciences Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 2010-2013 and he is a core faculty member in the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Tennessee. Dr. Wang has more than 60 research papers, including 4 invited book chapters and 3 review articles. He has also contributed to over 120 research presentations at conferences.
