Research Interests
Dr. Wang's research concerns the environmental
applications and implications of nanotechnology.
Specifically, he is investigating the fundamental processes
governing the fate and transport of novel materials in
multiphase environmental systems.
Short Bio
Dr. Wang received his Ph.D. degree in Environmental
Engineering ( minor at Materials Science and
Engineering) and his dual B.S. degrees in Geochemistry
and Computer Sciences, prior to joining Tufts
University. His research is highly multidisciplinary at
the interface of environmental engineering and health,
colloid science, fluid mechanics, nanotechnology, and
petroleum engineering. His current research focuses
include interactions of nanoparticles with water, soil,
and non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL), fundamental
understanding of nanoparticle transport and retention in
porous media, application of highly mobile nanoparticles
in enhanced oil recovery, and neurotoxicity of
nanomaterials.
