Biography


Han Wang joined the University of Southern California (USC) in 2014 where he is currently an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and holder of the Robert G. and Mary G. Lane Early Career Chair. Currently, he also leads the low dimensional materials research at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) Corporate Research. He received the B.A. and M.Eng. degree in electrical and information science from Cambridge University in 2007 and his PhD degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2013. From 2013 to 2014, he was with the Nanoscale Science and Technology group at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. His research interests include the fundamental study and device innovation in electronics and photonics technology based on emerging nanomaterials for computing, communication and sensing applications.

His work has been recognized with numerous awards including the IEEE Nanotechnology Council Early Career Award, the Army Research Office Young Investigator Award, National Science Foundation CAREER Award, USC Viterbi Junior Faculty Research Award, USC Zumberge Faculty Research Individual Award, the Roger A. Haken Best Paper Award in IEEE International Electron Device Meeting (IEDM), the Best Paper Award in International Conference on Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology (CS MANTECH) and the MIT Jin-Au Kong Best Doctoral Thesis Award. He is the IEEE Nanotechnology Council Distinguished Lecturer for 2020-2021. He is also the recipient of the Orange County Engineering Council (OCEC) Outstanding Educator Award for contributions to science and engineering education in the Los Angeles area.
