Resume:

C. Wang received B.S. degree from University of Science and Technology of China in 1986. After obtained his PhD from University of Virginia in 1992, he joined Arizona State University as a postdoctoral associate. In 1994, he became a professor of Central China Normal University. He was a faculty of the Institute of Chemistry, CAS from 1995 to 2004, and is currently a professor and director of National Center for Nanoscience and Technology of China. He has engaged in studies of scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy and its applications, including molecular self-assembly, physical and chemical properties of single molecules etc.
