Wang Enge was born in 1957 in Shenyang, a physicist. He received his Ph.D. from Peking University (1990). He did his research in Princeton through an exchange program and worked at Institut d’Electronique, de Microelectronique et de Nanotechnologie (France) and University of Houston as a postdoctoral fellow and a research scientist. He started his academic career in 1995 as a professor at Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). He was the director of the Institute of Physics (CAS) (1999-2007), the director of Beijing National Laboratory for Condensed Matter Physics (2004-2009). Since 2009, he is a chair professor of physics, Dean of School of Physics and Provost of Peking University. He is now an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS), and a fellow of the American Physical Society and the Institute of Physics (UK).
Dr. Wang was a JSPS professor of Tohoku University (Japan), an AvH Scholar of Fritz-Haber Institute der MPG (Germany), a GCEP Scholar of Department of Applied Physics, Stanford University, and a KITP Visiting Professor of University of California, Santa Barbara (U.S.A.).
Dr Wang’s main research accomplishments include the fundamental understanding of the kinetics involved in formation and decay of surfacebased nanostructures, development of chemical vapor deposition of lightelement nanomaterials, and study of water behaviors in confinement system. In the above areas, he is the author of over 260 papers in peerreviewed journals (3 in Science, 1 in Nature Nanotechnology, 23 in PRL, 7 in JACS), coeditor of 1 MRS proceeding, and coinventor on 6 patents. He delivered over 80 plenary/keynote/invited talks including APS, MRS, and IUMRS, and gave over 100 seminars/colloquiums worldwide. He is an ISI highlycited researcher in physics with over 6000 citations with hindex of 38.
He was named a number of international and national academic awards, for example, the first Ten Outstanding Scientist Award in China (2010), the HLHL Science and Technology Award (2010), the GCEP Scholar (Stanford, 2009), the TWAS Award in Physics (2005), the Humboldt Research Award (2005), the Outstanding Science and Technology Achievement Prize (CAS, 2005), the 2nd Place of the National Science and Technology Award (2004), the IBM Faculty Award (2003), the Achievement in Asia Award (AAA) of the Overseas Chinese Physics Association (2003), the 1st Place of the Science and Technology Award of Beijing (2003 and 2008), etc.
Dr Wang’s service to the physics community in many committees, for examples of the Vice Chair of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP-C10), the Board Member of MRS Pacific Rim Committee, and the Secretary-General of the Chinese Physical Society (CPS). He is an honorary professor of Department of Physics, the University of Hong Kong, and a member of the International Advisory Board, the UCSB, the National University of Singapore, the University College London, the University of Chile, and the National Institute for Materials Science (Japan). He has chaired or acted as an organizer for tens of conferences, including APS, MRS, IUMRS, etc. Meanwhile, he is an executive editor or an editorial board member for over ten international journals, such as AIP Advances, Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, Solid State Communication, IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology, etc.
