Biography
Yao Wang was born in 1978 in Changzhi, Shanxi. He received his Bachelor degree in
Department of Chemistry of Jilin University, China in 2000. He finished his doctoral study in
the State Key Lab of Supramolecular Structures and Materials, College of Chemistry, Jilin
University and received his Ph. D. degree on June 2005. During September 2005 to December
2006, he pursued his postdoctoral research work in the Department of Chemistry and the
Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison, US.
During 2007 to 2009, he worked as a Research Associate in Department of Chemistry, Lehigh
University, US.
Dr. Yao Wang joined School of Chemistry and Environment of Beihang University as an
Associate Professor in 2010. His research interests include supramolecular assembled
structures and materials, functional polymers, functional membranes and their application to
gas separation, carbon dioxide (CO2) detection, capture, conversion and utilization and
energy chemistry problems.
Dr. Yao Wang is the founding Editor of journal of Chemical Rapid Communications. Further
Information on Dr. Yao Wang and his research can be found on the Yao Wang Reaserch Group
Website.
