Professor Lumin Wang came to the USA from China in 1982 and received his PhD in Materials Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1988. He has worked at Argonne National Laboratory and University of New Mexico before joining the faculty at the University of Michigan in 1997. He is now a professor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences with a joint appointment in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering. Currently, he is also the director of the Electron Microbeam Analysis Laboratory, a campus wide user facility for material characterization at the University of Michigan. Professor Wang’s specialty is in nuclear engineering materials and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterization of materials at the nanoscale, especially materials irradiated with ion beams or other energetic particles. Professor Wang has a broad international collaboration with researchers in the fields of material science, nuclear engineering, geology/mineralogy, environmental science and engineering, chemistry and chemical engineering. In recent years, he has focused on radiation effects in materials for nuclear waste management and processing of nanostructured materials with energetic particle beams. Professor Wang has published more than 320 research papers including over 210 papers SCI indexed scientific journals and more than 110 papers in conference proceedings. He is also an adjunct professor at the University of Electronic Science and Technology, Sichuan University and Xiamen University in China.
