Professor LinGe WANG of South China University of Technology (SCUT) is currently the Associate Dean of School of Emergent Soft Matter (ESM) and the Associate Dean of South China Advanced Institute for Soft Matter Science and Technology (AISMST). LinGe WANG received his PhD in Chemistry from the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) in 2003. He had worked at the Guangzhou Institute of Chemistry, CAS as an Assistant Professor (till 2004), Associate Professor (till 2008), and then worked at the University of Sheffield (till 2012) as a Postdoc Research Associate. He was pointed as a full professor at SCUT since Sep 2012. His research has been published more than 90 papers in leading journals in a variety of materials and polymers, such as Advanced Materials, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Materials Horizons, Applied Energy, Chemical Engineering Journal, Acta Biomaterialia, Macromolecules, Science China-Chemistry; he has been invited to write 4 book chapters (published by Woodhead, Springer and Elsevier, respectively) and has published 37 Chinese/U.S./Japanese patents and 8 PCT patents.

Prof. LinGe WANG’s research focuses on Soft Matter & Hybrid Materials, particularly on polymer nanofibers, polymer vesicles, polymeric optical film, tissue engineering, cell therapy, drug delivery, antibacterial materials, thermal energy storage materials, flexible sensor, etc. Consequently, his group strives to develop and exploit the simplest, most efficient and cost-effective chemistry in all syntheses carried out. Subsequently, the group exploits polymers which microphase separate into nanostructured self-assemblies. Behavior at the nanometer length scale is then probed using small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) at the Radiation Facilities across world.
