Kuang-Ching Wang (KC Wang) is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Clemson University and an Adjunct Professor in Public Health Sciences. He serves as Associate Director of the Watt Family Innovation Center and a Faculty Fellow at the Clemson University School of Health Research. His primary research focuses on advanced wireless networking under extreme mobility, reliable wireless systems in harsh conditions, and software-defined networking applications.

• Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering (2003) - University of Wisconsin, Madison
• M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering (2001) - University of Wisconsin, Madison
• M.S. in Electrical Engineering (1999) - National Taiwan University
• B.S. in Electrical Engineering (1997) - National Taiwan University

His research group develops adaptive transmission/scheduling protocols for high-mobility environments (e.g., vehicle networks, factory sensors) and creates testbeds for wireless network evaluation. Current projects integrate AI into chicken sexing, diabetes patient profiling, and connected vehicle systems.

His team maintains hardware/software testbeds across multiple domains and participates in NSF-funded initiatives like CloudLab II and US Ignite. Collaborations span 7 universities and 2 hospitals.

• IBM Faculty Award
• SCDA ACRE award
• President's Leadership Institute (Class of 2017)

He has secured grants from the National Science Foundation (MRI: Cyberinstrument, NRT-DESE PROACTIVE), US Ignite, and CICI partnerships. His work bridges engineering with health research through Clemson's Palmetto Cluster enhancements and interdisciplinary testbed development.
