王中林院士（美国）

第七届编审委员会  特聘委员（终身）
Dr.Zhong Lin (ZL) Wang received his PhD from Arizona State University intransmission electron microscopy. He now is the Hightower Chair in MaterialsScience and Engineering, Regents' Professor, Engineering DistinguishedProfessor and Director, Center for Nanostructure Characterization, at GeorgiaTech. Dr. Wang has made original and innovative contributions to the synthesis,discovery, characterization and understanding of fundamental physicalproperties of oxide nanobelts and nanowires, as well as applications ofnanowires in energy sciences, electronics, optoelectronics and biologicalscience. His discovery and breakthroughs in developing nanogenerators establishthe principle and technological road map for harvesting mechanical energy fromenvironment and biological systems for powering a personal electronics. Hisresearch on self-powered nanosystems has inspired the worldwide effort inacademia and industry for studying energy for micro-nano-systems, which is nowa distinct disciplinary in energy research and future sensor networks. Hecoined and pioneered the field of piezotronics and piezo-phototronics byintroducing piezoelectric potential gated charge transport process infabricating new electronic and optoelectronic devices. This breakthrough by redesignCMOS transistor has important applications in smart MEMS/NEMS, nanorobotics,human-electronics interface and sensors. Dr. Wang’s publications have beencited for over 57,000times. The H-index of his citations is 117. Dr. Wang is the #25 in the list ofthe world’s greatest scientists (http://superstarsofscience.com/scientists). Dr. Wang waselected as a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2009, memberof European Academy of Sciences in 2002, fellow of American Physical Society in2005, fellow of AAAS in 2006, fellow of Materials Research Society in 2008,fellow of Microscopy Society of America in 2010, and fellow of the WorldInnovation Foundation in 2002. He received 2012 Edward Orton Memorial Lecture Award from American Ceramic Society, 2011 MRS Medal from the MaterialsResearch Society, 1999 Burton Medal from Microscopy Society of America, 2001S.T. Li prize for Outstanding Contribution in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology,and the 2009 Purdy Award from American Ceramic Society. Details can be foundat: http://www.nanoscience.gatech.edu
