UNT Faculty Profile Link

Research Group Website:

Dr. Wang received her B.S. and M.S. in Inorganic Chemistry from Shandong University China, and her Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of California. She started as a Lecturer at Beijing Science and Technology University in 1993. From 2003-2005, Dr. Wang was a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, followed by another postdoctoral fellowship at The Scripps Research Institute until 2007. In 2007 Dr. Wang became an Assistant Professor at Miami University and later joined UNT faculty in 2016 where she was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure.

Research Area:

• Organic
• Materials

Research:

• Asymmetric Catalysis Through Cooperative Enamine-Metal Lewis Acid Catalysis
• Functional Organic Materials Based on p-Extended Porphyrins

The research in the Wang group mainly involves synthetic methodology development and the design and development of novel organic materials with interesting photophysical and optoelectronic or biological properties. The research principles are “using simple to make complicated” in the development of synthetic methodologies and “making complicated simple” in the design and development of organic materials.
