Research Experience and Accomplishments:
Prof. Shuao Wang received his BSc in Material Chemistry at University of Science and Technology of China (2007) and Ph.D. in Environmental Radiochemistry at University of Notre Dame (2012) under the direction of Gregory R. Choppin Professor Thomas E. Albrecht-Schmitt, who is now in Florida State University. After a short postdoc period at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of California, Berkeley (2013) with Prof. Jeffrey R. Long and Dr. David K. Shuh, he became a faculty member of School for Radiological and Interdisciplinary Sciences of Soochow University as a full professor. Prof. Shuao Wang has published more than 60 peer-reviewed journal articles, with the majority appearing at the top journals in the areas of inorganic, materials, and environmental chemistry. He received multiple prestigious awards including the 2012 DIC Young Investigator Award (American Chemical Society) and 2012 Ludo Frevel Crystallography Award (the International Center for Diffraction Data). He was awarded into the 2013 One Thousand Plan for Young Talents project funded by the Chinese Government. He is also the recipient of the Excellent Young Scientist Foundation of NSFC, and the Science Fund for Distinguished Youth of Jiangsu Province.
