About me

Prof. Wang is current an Associate Professor @ Southeast University, Nanjing, China. Before joining SEU, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), where He received the Ph.D. degree in 2020. He received the M.Sc. degree in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). His research is focusing on the micro-/nano-robotics field, including collective behaviors, real-time feedback control, ultrasound imaging-guided delivery, dynamic self-assembly, and micro-/nano-manipulation. He is also interested in integrating swarming micro/nanorobots with medical imaging systems for preclinical biomedical applications, e.g., targeted delivery of Cells & Microorganisms, Drugs, Energy, and Fluids (C, D, E, F). He serves as the Topic Editors of Micromachines and Frontiers in Robotics and AI. He is a reviewer of ACS Nano, Soft Robotics, IEEE RA-L, IEEE T-MECH, T-BME, T-ASE, ICRA, IROS .etc. He is a number of IEEE.
