Xiao-yong Wang

Dr. Xiaoyong Wang obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees of optical engineering from Tianjing University, China, and his doctoral degree in physics from University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, US.  After doing his postdoctoral researches from University of Texas at Austin and University of Rochester in the US, Dr. Xiaoyong Wang took a full professor position at Nanjing University, China, and is now the chair for the department of optical science.

Dr. Xiaoyong Wang’s group is now utilizing the single-particle and ultrafast spectroscopic techniques to study various semiconductor nanostructures such as epitaxial quantum dots, colloidal nanocrystals, 2D materials and single-walled carbon nanotubes. The fundamental research projects of the group include single-photon emission, energy transfer, carrier multiplication and coherent optics of semiconductor nanostructures, the purpose of which is to facilitate their practical applications in quantum information processing and optoelectronic devices.
