John Wang

Professor John Wang of the National University of Singapore (NUS) is a leading researcher in functional ceramics, electroceramics, and nanomaterials for energy, electronics, and healthcare. As Director of the NUS Research Institute (Chongqing) since 2023, he bridges academic-industrial collaborations.

• Highly Cited Researcher in Materials Science (2022, 2020-2023)
• Fellow of Singapore National Academy of Science (2022)
• Academician of Asia Pacific Academy of Materials (2019)

His group develops novel fabrication techniques for ceramics, nanohybrids, and mesoporous materials, optimizing structural-functional property correlations across molecular to micrometer scales. Recent work focuses on carbon-based composites for supercapacitors, zinc-air batteries, and drug delivery. The 15 most recent articles highlight breakthroughs in solid-state electrolytes, 2D MOFs, Zn-ion batteries, and machine learning-aided material design.

Notable students and advisees include Zhang Hong, Li Xin, Liu Ximeng, and Gao Yulin. His lab actively engages in international conferences like ICMAT and Sino-US Forums, emphasizing interdisciplinary education and advanced materials development.
