Biography

  • Professor LinGe WANG of South China University of Technology (SCUT) is currently the Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Emergent Soft Matter (SESM) 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 100 papers in leading journals in a variety of materials and polymers, such as Advanced Materials, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Advanced Functional Materials, Nature Communications, Small, Materials Horizons, Acta Biomaterialia, Applied Energy, Chemical Engineering Journal, Macromolecules, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Science China-Chemistry; he has been invited to write 4 book chapters (published by Woodhead, Springer and Elsevier, respectively) and has been granted 40 Chinese/U.S./Japanese invention patents and 10 PCT international phase applications.

Research Interests

  • Prof. LinGe WANG’s research focuses on Soft Matter & Hybrid Materials, particularly on block copolymer & self-assembly, 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.
