Dr. Yan Wang is currently an Associate Professor at Guangdong Technion. She received her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Monash University in 2018 and completed postdoctoral training in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Tokyo in 2021. In the field of soft electronics, Dr. Wang has published over 60 articles in flagship journals—including Science, Nature Electronics, Science Advances, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Chemical Society Reviews, and Advanced Materials, with an h-index of 34 and four ESI highly cited papers. Her work has earned several awards, including the Guangdong Province Major Talent Program (Youth), ACS Publications Award for Women Scientists in Surface and Interface Science (2025), the JMCC Emerging Investigators Award (2025), the Nanoscale Emerging Investigators Award (2022), and the 2018 Outstanding Self-financed Students Abroad Award. Her research has been featured by CNN, major Australian outlets such as the Herald Sun, and Japanese media such as Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun. At Guangdong Technion, her group focuses on developing materials and implementing soft wearables in real-world applications for ambulatory health care and the Internet of Things.
