Professor Lan Wang is a Chinese-Australian material scientist known for expertise in materials synthesis and advanced materials characterisation.

He was appointed as an associate professor of physics at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia in 2014.^[1]

Career

Wang has a Bachelor of Science in Physics (1993) and Master of Science in theoretical physics (1997) from Zhejiang University, China, a PhD in Physics from the National University of Singapore, Singapore (2001) and a PhD in Materials Sciences from the University of Minnesota, USA (2006).

He has held professional positions at XinDa Communication Solution Inc, China; Rush Presbyterian St Luke’s Medical Center, Chicago, USA; University of Minnesota, USA; and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.^[1]

From 2014 he has been Associate Professor, School of Applied Science, RMIT University.

Wang is a Theme Leader and node leader at ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies (FLEET)^[2] where he leads the Centre's nano-device fabrication research theme, as well as studying high-temperature quantum anomalous Hall systems in topological materials.

Past and current collaborations include the National University of Singapore (NUS), Hong Kong University (HKU), University of Southampton, and the China High Magnetic Field Lab at Chinese Academy of Science.

Expertise

Wang's research has focused on topological condensed matter systems, spintronics, and magnetic materials. His team at RMIT grows single crystals, thin films and nanostructures, fabricating devices for electron and spin transport measurements for new generation spintronic devices.

Low-temperature and high-magnetic field electron and spin transport
topological insulators
magnetic materials
spintronic and magneto-electronic devices
device fabrication
growth of single crystals
thin films and nano-structures.

For material growth and characterization, Wang is experienced with ultra high vacuum (UHV) systems and thin-film deposition, single-crystal growth, and nanostructure growth. For device fabrication he is experienced in E-beam and photo lithography. For characterising electric and magnetic properties of materials, he is experienced in standard magnetic measurements, measurements and analysis of the quantum oscillations of single crystalline systems in high magnetic field and low temperature, point-contact spectroscopy, gate-tuned electric transport in nano-devices, and measurements of magneto-electrical coupling effect.

Publications

Wang has published over 100 papers with total citations over 2500, and an H-index of 26^[3]
