-Wei Wang received his B.Sc. in applied chemistry from Harbin Institute of Technology (Harbin, China) in 2008 under the supervision of Professor Su-E Hao. He then joined the research group of Professor Thomas Mallouk in the Department of Chemistry at at Penn State University, working on nano and microscale motors propelled by self-generated forces. He obtained his PhD degree in 2013 and started his academic career in 2014 at the School of Materials Science and Engineering at HIT (Shenzhen), where he is currently a full professor. Dr. Wang was a visiting researcher in Steve Granick group at Institute for Basic Science, Center for Soft and Living Matters (Korea) from Feb. 2016.2 to Feb. 2017.2.
-His research interest includes smart and biomimetic materials, colloidal electrokinetics and hydrodynamics, ultrasound manipulation of microparticles, and micromachines/microrobotics. See the "Research" tab on the page top for details.

王威于2008年毕业于哈尔滨工业大学应用化学专业,获理学学士,毕业论文导师为郝素娥教授。2008-2013年期间于美国宾州州立大学攻读化学博士学位,导师为Thomas Mallouk教授。2014年2月就职于哈尔滨工业大学(深圳)材料科学与工程学院,任副教授。2015年评为博士生导师。2018年3月经由青年拔尖人才计划评为教授。2016.2-2017.2期间王威为韩国基础科学研究院软物质与活性物质中心访问学者,与美国科学院院士Steve Granick教授开展了多项合作。
王威课题组研究领域为微纳米智能仿生材料与软物质,研究内容包括微纳米低维材料的制备、微纳米活性胶体、动态自组装、数值模拟等。共在Sci. Adv.、JACS、PRL、PNAS等国内外高水平期刊上共发表学术论文70余篇,引用5000余次。参与出版学术专著3部,撰写译著1部。2015年获韩国基础科学研究院青年研究员奖。现任中国微纳米技术学会微纳执行器与微系统分会理事,及微纳机器人分会理事。
王威课题组的研究围绕人工活性胶体展开。这是一类新型智能仿生胶体材料,能够在微纳米尺度将环境中的电磁能、化学能、光能、热能、声能等转化为自身的运动。因其与微生物、细胞等的相似性,近年来作为研究活性物质的模型体系受到学术界的高度关注。除此之外,人工活性胶体也作为新一代微纳米机器,在环境监测与治理、微纳米机械加工、生物医药等领域有巨大的潜在应用价值。本课题组经过多年积累,在化学能、电能、超声能、光能等驱动活性胶体领域取得了一系列研究成果,特别是在颗粒驱动机理、能量利用效率、细胞操控、颗粒相互作用及自组装等方面的研究处于国际先进水平。我们的研究有力的推动了科学界对于活性胶体的理解认识,也为其实际应用打下了坚实的基础。研究成果受到国内外同行的广泛关注和高度评价,并被国内外媒体如CNN、BBC等报道。研究详细介绍请见页面上方Research标签页。
在研及结题项目(均为主持):国家自然科学基金青年项目一项,面上项目一项,广东省杰出青年基金一项,深圳市优青项目1项,深圳市基础研究3项,哈工大校内项目两项。
