Biography
Dr. Wei Wang is a Research Science Specialist at Aramco Research Center-Boston, Aramco Services Company (ASC). Before joining the ASC as a Founding Member of Aramco Global Research Centers-North America in 2012, he had been a Staff Research Scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) since 2001. Prior to that, he worked as a Research Associate at the University of Pittsburgh and as an Associate Professor at the Ocean University of China. Wei obtained his Ph.D. degree in Physical Chemistry from the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 1993. Over the past 25 years, his research has centered on molecular spectroscopy, fabrication of nanomaterials and nanomaterial-based sensors and devices. During his tenure at ORNL, he was the PI or co-PI for 17 research projects funded by DOE, BATTELLE and ORNL. In the Aramco Research Center, his current research is focused on the application of nanomaterials and nanotechnology for reservoir description and enhanced oil recovery in the oil and gas industry. Wei has authored or co-authored more than 130 research papers, 4 book chapters and 15 US patents.
