Frederick E. Wang (August 1, 1932 – January 3, 2022) was a Taiwanese-American physicist.
Contributions to the understanding of Crystal Structure and Shape Memory Alloys
Wang worked as a post-doc researcher for William Lipscomb from 1960 to 1962 at Harvard University. He assisted with Lipscomb's Nobel Prize winning borane research and co-authored several research papers with Lipscomb.[1][2][3]
While working with William Buehler at the Naval Ordinance Laboratory in White Oak, Maryland, Wang determined the crystal structure of a shape memory allow (SMA) called Nitinol, which Buehler discovered earlier.[4][5]
Wangs' ongoing research at NOL resulted in various patents relating to Nitinol, SMA's, and Li-B compounds.[6][7][8]
In 1980, Wang started his own company, Innovative Technology International, Inc., and embarked on developing and patenting a thermal heat exchange engine using Nitinol.[9][10]
While running Innovative Technology International, Inc., Wang continued to collaborate with other scientists to publish articles on superconductivity.[11]
