Biography

Kaiying Wang received his PhD in condensed matter physics from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He joined the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN) in 2007 as an associate professor and was promoted to professor in 2010. His research interests focus on micro-fabrication and nanotechnology, electrochemistry, photochemistry and nanodevices for environment and energy applications. For teaching, he has taught the Microfabrication (MFA4000, master) and Nanotechnology (TSE3120, bachelor) at the University of South-Eastern Norway since 2010. Meanwhile, he has participated in several national and European projects related to micro/nano fabrication technology. The related education programmes at USN include: (1) Sensor Systems and Innovation (2) Smart Systems Integrated Solutions, and (3) Micro- and Nano Systems Technology.
