 Howard Wang is an Associate Professor of Mechanical
Engineering and Materials Engineering at the Binghamton
University. He obtained his Bachelor of Science
in Physics from the Peking University in 1992,
and received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and
Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania
in 1999. After completing his postdoctoral research
at the National Institute of Standards and Technology,
Wang joined the Department of Materials Science
and Engineering at the Michigan Technological
University as an Assistant Professor in 2002.
Wang moved to Binghamton University in 2006.
Wang's research focuses on materials aspects
of advancing nanotechnology and biotechnology.
His interdisciplinary research program integrates
nanomaterials synthesis, characterization, processing,
and application. His group's recent studies involve
synthesizing carbon nanotubes, metal oxide nanowires,
metal nanoparticles, dispersing nano-objects in
solutions, gels, polymers and ceramics, assembling
them into ordered structures, and fabricating
flexible electronics, nanocomposites and biosensors
for applications. Wang emphasizes the importance
of interdisciplinary approaches and fundamental
understandings at nano-soft-biomaterials interfaces
in advancing nano-biotechnology.
He has authored or co-authored over 60 technical
publications in refereed journals, book chapters
and conference proceedings, covering topics on
nanomaterials, polymers, colloids, emulsions,
bio-membranes, thin films, flow processing, low-k
materials, etc. Wang is a scientific member of
Bohmische Physical Society since 2000 and a recipient
of the NSF Career Award.
