Academic Experience and Education Enge Wang graduated in theoretical physics from Liaoning University (1982) and obtained his PhD in condensed matter physics from Peking University (1990). He did his research in Princeton through an exchange program and worked at Institut d’Electronique, de Microelectronique et de Nanotechnologie (France) and University of Houston as a post-doctoral fellow and a research scientist. He started his academic career in 1995 as a professor at Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). He was the Director of the Institute of Physics (CAS) (1999-2007), the Founding Director of International Center for Quantum Structures (2000－2001), the Co-Director of Beijing National Laboratory for Condensed Matter Physics (2004-2009), the Executive President of CAS Graduate University (2008-2009), the Deputy General Secretary of CAS (2008-2009), the Dean of School of Physics, the Dean of Graduate School, the Provost and Executive Vice President (2009-2012), the President (2013-2015) of Peking University, and the Deputy President of Chinese Academy of Sciences (2015-2017). Since 2018, he is the University Chair Professor of Physics of Peking University, the Chairman of Advisor Board of Institute of Physics (CAS), the Chairman of Advisory Committee of National Scientific Center at Beijing, the Chairman of Board of Directors of Songshan Lake Materials Lab at Guangdong, the Honorary Director of the Kavli Institute of Theoretical Sciences at University of CAS, the Honorary President of Dongguang Academy of Advanced Ceramics and Composite Materials. He is also the Vice President of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP, 2018-2020), the International Councilor of American Physical Society (APS, 2019-2021), the Chairman of Global Cooperation Alliance of Science Centers (GCASC, 2019-), and the Vice President of the Chinese Physical Society (CPS, 2012-2015). Enge Wang was also a JSPS professor of Tohoku University (Japan, 2001-2002), an AvH Scholar of Fritz-Haber Institute der MPG (Germany, 2005-2009), a GCEP Professor of Department of Applied Physics, Stanford University (2008-2009), a KITP visiting Professor, University of California at Santa Barbara (2009), and visiting professor of Department of Applied Physics, Stanford University (2019).

Research Interests Enge Wang’s research background is in surface physics; the approach is a combination of atomistic simulation of nonequilibrium growth and chemical vapor deposition of light-element nanomaterials. This study primarily involves formation and decay mechanisms of surface-based novel structures. In the past 20 years, he focuses on the full quantum effect on anomalous behaviors of water under confinement. In the above areas, he is the author of over 360 papers in peer-reviewed journals (50 in Science, Natures, and PRL) and 2 books, coeditor of 1 MRS proceeding, and coinventor on 20 patents. He delivered over 100 plenary/keynote/invited talks including APS, ACS, MRS, IUMRS and ψ_K, and gave over 100 seminars/colloquiums worldwide, including Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, Columbia, Oxford, Cambridge, Tokyo, Kyoto, Peking and Tsinghua University. He is an ISI highly cited researcher in physics with over 20000 citations (with H-index of 66 including 38 of his papers cited over a hundred times each and 2 of his papers cited over a thousand times each).
Awards and Honors 　 Enge Wang was named a number of international and national academic awards, for example, the Advanced Materials Laureate (Sweden, 2018), the Tan Kah Kee Science Award in Mathematics and Physics (2014), the Asian Consortium on Computational Materials Science (ACCMS) Award (Singapore, 2011), the 2nd Place of the National Science and Technology Award (2004 and 2011), the first Ten Outstanding Scientist Award in China (2010), the HLHL Science and Technology Award (2010), the GCEP Scholar (Stanford, 2009), the Distinguished Chinese Visiting Scholar (Hong Kong PolyU, 2008), the Distinguished Lecturer (Australian Research Council Nanotechnology Network, 2007), the TWAS Award in Physics (2005), the Humboldt Research Award (2005), Zhou Pei-Yuan Physics Award (Chinese Physics Society, 2005), the Outstanding Science and Technology Achievement Prize (CAS, 2005), the IBM Faculty Award (2003), the Achievement in Asia Award (AAA) of the Overseas Chinese Physics Association (2003), the 1st Place of the Science and Technology Award of Beijing (2003 and 2008), Youth Scientist Award (CAS, 1997), Distinguished Young Research Award (Hong Kong Qiu Shi Science Foundation, 1996), Outstanding Young Research Foundation (NSFC, 1995) and 100 Talent Programme Scientist (CAS, 1994) etc.
