Research Overview 

Wang Research Group aims to develop methodologies of leveraging a fundamental understanding of key properties in nanostructured soft materials into device-level development. The research interests of Wang Research Group lie in the interdisciplinary confluence of electrochemical engineering, polymer science, and nanotechnology. 

We are especially interested in three themes:

1. Understanding ion/electron transport in nanostructured block copolymers and liquid crystals. 

2. Developing efficient pH-gradient-enabled microscale bipolar interfaces for energy conversion and storage.

3. Engineering stand-alone structured liquid crystal membranes for efficient water treatment and energy storage.
