testing,  the development of electrochemical sensing devices for clinical and environmental monitoring, implantable in vivo glucose biosensors, the development and characterization of new surfaces and interfaces, sensor/recognition coatings, remote sensing, the development of techniques for ultratrace measurements and the design of on-line flow detectors.  Prof. Wang's contributions in these directions have been of major importance in the growing popularity of electroanalytical techniques.

He has authored over 700 research papers, eight patents, twelve chapters and eight books including, "STRIPPING ANALYSIS", "ELECTROANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES IN CLINICAL CHEMISTRY AND LABORATORY MEDICINE", "BIOSENSORS AND CHEMICAL SENSORS", “ELECTROCHEMISTRY OF NUCLEIC ACIDS AND PROTEINS”, "ANALYTICAL ELECTROCHEMISTRY" (Now in 3rd Edition), and  "BIOSENSORS FOR DIRECT  MONITORING OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS".  Since 1980, 20 Ph.D. candidates and 70 research associates have studied with Professor Wang.  His enthusiasm and willingness to collaborate with colleagues have made him a very popular member of the international electrochemical community.  Prof. Wang has presented more than 200 invited and plenary lectures in 40 countries.

He is the recipient of the 1999 and 2006 American Chemical Society Awards for Chemical Instrumentation and Electrochemistry, respectively, and of the ISI 'Citation Laureate' Award for being the Most Cited Scientist in Engineering in the World (during 1991-2001). The Westhafer Award for Research (NMSU's highest academic award) was awarded to him in 1990, and the Manasse Chair in 2001. Professor Wang is also the awardee of the 1994 Heyrovsky Memorial Medal (of the Czech Republic) for his contributions to voltammetry and of the Young Faculty Award of the Society of Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh in 1981.  He was awarded a Honorary Doctor from National University (Cordoba, Argentina) in 2003, a Visiting Scientist Fellowship to PR China from the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in 1986, and served as a fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 2000. In 1995 and 1997, he became the most cited electrochemist in the world, and at the 4th place in the ISI's list of 'Most Cited Researchers in Chemistry' for the 1996-2006 period. Professor Wang has been selected for the Electrochemistry Communications (Elsevier) Award 2005, for the highest quality paper published in the journal, based on the number of literature citations. 

He is currently serving as the Chief-Editor of the international journal Electroanalysis and has been a member of the Advisory Editor Board of several international journals including Analytica Chimica Acta, Analyst, Talanta, Analytical Letters, Electrochemistry Communications, Analytical Instrumentation, Anal. Communications, Analysis Europa, Encyclopedia of Analytical Sciences, Current Topics in Analytical Chemistry and Croatia Chimica Acta, Current Analytical Chemistry, and Microfluidics & Nanofluidics.  He has also served as the instructor of the ACS Short Course "Electrochemical Sensors," and as a member of the commission for electroanalytical chemistry of IUPAC.

 

Joseph Wang, Director of the Center for Bioelectronics and Biosensors, is a Professor of the department of Chemical Engineering, and department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Arizona State University (ASU) since 2004.  He obtained his higher education at the Israel Institute of Technology and being awarded his D. Sc. in 1978. From 1978 to 1980 he served as a research associate at the University of Wisconsin (Madison) and joined New Mexico State University (NMSU) at 1980. From 2001-2004, he held a Regents Professorship and a Manasse Chair positions at NMSU. Since 1980, 20 Ph.D. candidates and 70 research associates have studied with Professor Wang.  (Dr. Wang’s Resume/CV)

Prof. Wang's research focuses on field of nanobioelectronic in which nanomaterials are appiled to the analysis of biomolecules. Nanobioelectronics is a rapidly developing field aimed at integrating nano- and biomaterials with electronic transducers. Wang’s interests include bioelectronic detection of proteins and nucleic acids, microfabrication, self-assembly of nanostructures, microfluidic devices (Lab-on-a-chip), nanoparticle-based bioassays, bionanomaterials, management of diabetes, point-of-care clinical
