Academic achievement: Prof. Wang’s research interests focus on chemical reaction kinetics, using both modeling and experimental techniques. More specifically, his research covers the topics of theoretical ab initio calculations, kinetic modeling, molecular weight growth kinetics, reaction classes and rate rules, high-pressure reaction kinetics, and Hybrid Chemistry (HyChem) approach. He contributes substantially towards the fundamental understanding of molecular weight growth kinetic of hydrocarbon fuels under low to intermediate temperatures, and he is one of the major drivers for the development of the HyChem approach for describing the combustion chemistry of complex real fuels.
