Dr. Ping Wang received his Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering from Tufts University. He conducted postdoctoral research around biocatalysis and bioprocessing at Oak Ridge National Laboratory before starting his academic career. He worked as a professor with a joint position in the Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems Engineering and the Biotechnology Institute at University of Minnesota before he joined Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo. His research encompasses the interdisciplinary areas of biosynthesis and biocatalysis, chemical and biomedical engineering, bionanotechnology and biodegradation. He received the Young Faculty CAREER award from National Science Foundation of USA, AIChE Biotech Division Award and a Fellow of American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE). He was honored as a guest professor at Institute of Process Engineering of Chinese Academy of Sciences, East China University of Sci. and Tech., and Nanjing Tech University. He has published over 160 scientific papers about biocatalysis and bionanotechnologuy in high impacting journals including Nature Biotechnology, Adv. Funct. Matr. and J. Am. Chem. Soc. His recent research explores synthetic biocatalysis that can realize biotransformations under extreme conditions with high conversion efficiency.
