Dr. Qing Wang is Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Penn State. He received his B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from East China University of Science and Technology in Shanghai, China, his M.S. in Chemistry from Wuhan University in Wuhan, China, and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Chicago. He served as a postdoctoral associate in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at Cornell University from 2000 to 2002 before joining the faculty at Penn State in 2002.
Wang’s research focuses on the development of multifunctional polymers and polymer nanocomposites for applications in energy storage and conversion. His laboratory employs chemical and materials engineering approaches to create novel functional polymers and nanocomposites, investigating how molecular, macromolecular, and multiple-scale assembled structures influence macroscopic physical properties. Projects address capacitive energy storage through nanostructured ferroelectric polymers and polymer nanocomposites with high energy densities, polymer-based nonflammable electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries, piezoelectric energy harvesting, multiferroic nanocomposites, electrocaloric effects for solid-state cooling, and conjugated block polymers for photovoltaics. He has received numerous honors, including election as a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 2022 and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2020, the Penn State Faculty Scholar Medal in 2018, the Wilson Award for Excellence in Research in 2016, the Rustum and Della Roy Innovation in Materials Research Award in 2007, the NSF CAREER Award in 2006, and the Virginia S. and Philip L. Walker Faculty Fellow award in 2004.
