About

Dr Wang is among the group of pioneering researchers who have made solid contributions in the areas of nano-mechanics of advanced materials and biomechanics of cytoskeleton in cells.

He is an expert in using multiscale modelling techniques to reveal distinct mechanical/ electromechanical responses of nanoscale crystal materials and protein polymers. The research aims to uncover the physics emerging at the nanoscale, establish the theoretical framework of nano-/cell mechanics and offer theoretical guidance to the design of nano/biomimetic materials, nano/bio-sensors and nanogenerators.

Currently, Dr Wang is extending his research to biomedical engineering where a novel electromechanics cell model will be developed in an attempt to transform cells into biosensors for disease diagnosis and gain deep insights into cell mechano-transduction. The research outcomes so far have led to 75 journal papers and more than 10 conference contributions, which have made significant impacts in the area internationally.

Areas Of Expertise

Mechanics of nanomaterials and nanocomposites
Electromechanical coupling at the nanoscale
