Dr. Wang earned his Ph.D. in heterogeneous catalysis from the University of Science and Technology of China (2016), focusing on powder catalysis, including the synthesis of nanoparticle and single-atom catalysts (SACs) via wet-chemistry and atomic layer deposition (ALD), along with structural and catalytic characterization. After his Ph.D., he briefly worked in industry as a research engineer at Gotion High-Tech. In 2017, he joined KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden as a postdoc, studying model catalysis using ultra-high vacuum (UHV) techniques, such as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and ambient-pressure XPS based on synchrotron radiation, and developed a new method for the synthesis of model SACs. Since 2021, he has been at TU Wien in Austria, researching model SAC using time-lapse STM and advanced TPD techniques. Since 2025, he has served as a principal investigator, continuing his work on model and single-atom catalysis.
