Lan Wang was awarded a PhD degree in Materials Sciences in 2006 at the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities. After the defence of Wang’s PhD thesis in Jan 2006, Wang became an Assistant Professor at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. He was the Principle Investigator of the Magnetic Materials and Spintronics Lab for the whole period at Nanyang Technological University (from 2006 to 2014). In November 2014, he joined RMIT University as an Associate Professor of Physics in the School of Science. Lan Wang was the Leader of theme B of the ARC CoE – Future Low Energy Electronics Technologies and RMIT Node Leader of ARC CoE – Future Low Energy Electronics Technologies. In March 31st, 2023, Lan full-time joined the School of Physics at Hefei University of Technology as a Distinguished Professor (HuBing II Professor). He now holds an honorary position at RMIT University. Lan's current research team 低维磁性与自旋电子器件研究团队-物理学院
Lan’s research interests focus on 2D materials, van der Waals heterostructures, 2D magnetism and spintronic devices. The aims are to understand the fundamental physics of these novel materials and to fabricate the next generation prototype electronic and spintronic devices. Dr. Wang has published >140 articles in prestigious journals, including Nature Materials,Nature Communications, Science Advances, Physical Review Letters, Nano Letters, etc.
