WANG Qing

Dr. Qing Wang is a Professor at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, National University of Singapore. He obtained PhD in Physics at the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2002. Before he moved to Singapore in 2008, he had worked as a postdoc research fellow at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), USA, in the area of mesoscopic photoelectrochemical cells. Dr. Wang is a recipient of NUS Engineering Young Researcher Award (2014), NRF Investigatorship (2018), and NUS Dean’s Chair Associate Professor (2021).

Research Interests

His research interest is in the broad research area of charge transport in mesoscopic electrochemical and photoelectrochemical systems, and their applications for advanced energy conversion and storage. His team is currently leading a new research direction based on a disruptive concept – redox targeting of energy materials for large-scale energy storage and other diversified applications, such as decoupled on-demand H₂ production, high throughput spent battery materials recycling, etc.
