Joseph Wang is an American researcher and inventor. He is a Distinguished Professor, SAIC Endowed Chair,[1] and former Chair of the Department of Nanoengineering at the University of California, San Diego specializing in nanomachines, biosensors, nano-bioelectronics, wearable devices, and electrochemistry. He also serves as the Director of the Center for Wearable Sensors[2] at the University of California San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering.

Biography

Joseph Wang studied chemistry at the Technion and was awarded a BSc degree in 1972 and a MSc degree in 1974. After completing his PhD at the Technion in 1978, he served as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. In 1980, he joined the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at New Mexico State University, where he became a Regents Professor and holder of the Manasse Chair.

Wang founded the journal Electroanalysis (Wiley-VCH) in 1988 and was Editor-in-Chief for three decades until 2018.[3] From 2004 to 2008, he served as the Director of the Center for Bioelectronics and Biosensors at the Biodesign Institute and as a Professor of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry at Arizona State University (ASU). Since 2008, Wang has served as Distinguished Professor of Nanoengineering at the University of California, San Diego, and as Department Chair between 2014 and 2019.

Fields of research

Wang's earlier research focused on electrochemical biosensors and detectors for clinical diagnostics and environmental monitoring, mainly on blood glucose monitoring for diabetes management.[4] His current research interests include the development of nanomotors and nanomachines, wearable non-invasive sensors, electrochemical biosensors,[5] bioelectronics, microfluidic (“Lab-on-a-Chip”) devices, and remote sensors for environmental and security monitoring.[6]

Wang led a team that successfully merged efforts in the fields of biosensors, bioelectronics and nanotechnology to fashion nanocrystals that can act as amplifying tags for DNA or protein biosensors. His work in the field of nanomachines, involving novel motor designs and applications, has led to the world's fastest nanomotor,[7] the first demonstration of nanomotor operation in living organism (towards stomach and lung disorders), a novel motion-based DNA biosensing,[8] nanomachine-enabled isolation of biological targets, such as cancer cell identification,[9] and advanced motion control in the nanoscale.[10]

Wang has also introduced the use of body-worn flexible electrochemical sensors for non-invasive biomarker monitoring and epidermal biofuel cells harvesting sweat bioenergy [11] including textile and epidermal-tattoo devices, microneedle-based electrochemical biosensors for real-time, pain-free quantification of circulating metabolites and electrolytes,[12]. His work towards portable environmental and security sensor systems includes new 'green' bismuth electrodes for sensing toxic metals,[13] remote submersible devices for continuous environmental monitoring and hand-held lead analyzer.. The advances made by Wang's team have been described in over 1200 research papers and reviews, that were cited over 145,000 times, leading to a H Index of 191.
