He leads the Computer Information Systems & Technology program within the Division of Management and Education, focusing on bridging theoretical research with practical business applications through interdisciplinary approaches.
His academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Business Administration from Washington State University (2008)
- M.B.A. in Information Systems and Finance from Washington State University (2006)
- B.E. in Telecommunication Engineering and Intellectual Properties Laws from Shanghai University, China (1996)
Dr. Wang's research investigates behavioral and organizational dimensions of information systems, with core interests in data analysis methodologies, human-computer interaction, and technology continuance. His work examines how digital tools reshape learning environments, organizational processes, and healthcare delivery, particularly through social media integration and knowledge management systems. Recent studies explore cognitive impacts of mobile technology in classrooms and innovative applications of digital twins in infrastructure management.
Analysis of his publication trajectory (2020-2023) reveals expanding interdisciplinary collaboration, with significant contributions to civil engineering (digital twin frameworks for tunnel maintenance), oncology (biomarker analysis for immunotherapy), and artificial intelligence (multimodal emotion recognition systems). This evolution demonstrates his strategic pivot toward high-impact applications of information systems in critical societal domains while maintaining foundational work in technology adoption and user behavior.
As an active scholar, Dr. Wang contributes to the academic community through memberships in the Association of Information Systems (AIS), Academy of Management (AOM), Decision Sciences Institute (DSI), and INFORMS.
