Lifeng Wang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stony Brook University. He holds a B.E. (2001) and Ph.D. (2006) in Solid Mechanics from Tsinghua University. Prior to Stony Brook, he was an Assistant Professor at Clarkson University (2011–2013) and a postdoctoral associate at MIT (2006–2011). His research focuses on materials modeling, computational mechanics, micro/nano-mechanics, 3D printing, biomaterials, and composite materials. He has published over 25 journal articles and one patent, with work featured in MIT News, NBC News, and Nature News.
Research Interests include:
- Materials modeling and computational mechanics
- Mechanical behavior of polymers, thin films, and composites
- Bio-inspired materials and biological systems
- Lattice metamaterials and mechanical metamaterials
- 3D printing and additive manufacturing techniques
He has received awards such as the National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award (China, 2008) and was named among the World’s Top 2% Scientists (2023). His lab explores digital materials, mechanical metamaterials, biomaterials, and fiber networks. Notable projects include biomimetic composites, auxetic materials, and smart materials for robotics.
Advisees include over a dozen master’s students at Stony Brook, with active collaborations in grants exploring programmable materials and energy absorption systems. His work integrates machine learning for material design and experimental validation of theoretical models.
