Prof. Wang’s current research centres on the nature-inspired and microfluidics-enabled engineering, joining biotechnology, energy technology, information technology and nano-/micro-technology. His work takes full advantage of nature-inspired structures, functions and mechanisms, and capabilities of microfluidics in terms of scalability and precise handling of small fluid volumes to develop innovative tools, and smart/functional materials via precisely engineering their micro-/nanostructures. Examples of innovative technologies and materials his team has developed include artificial blood vessels, bio-printing inks, chemoembolization microparticles, colloidosomes for smart drug-delivery, contamination-free fluidic processors, liquid-repellent materials, micro-actuators/motors/robots/sensors, multifunctional microfibers, scald-proof coatings, smart non-wetting liquid grippers, super anti-pathogen coatings, and super thermal conductors.
