Kang Wang Ph.D.

Prof. Wang has been with the Electrical Engineering Department at UCLA since 1979. He was Chair of the department from 1993 to 1996. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, and a member of the American Physical Society, the Materials Research Society, the Eta Kappa Nu Society, the Sigma Xi Society and the Phi Tau Phi Honor Society. He has chaired many international conferences and symposia.

Research Interests:
Professor Wang's research focuses on nanoelectronics and optoelectronics, MBE and superlattices, micro-wave and millimeter electronics/optoelectronics, and quantum computing.

Education

Kang L. Wang received the B.S.E.E. from the National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan, in 1964. He earned both the M.S.E.E. and the Ph.D. in electrical engineering from M.I.T., in 1966 and 1970, respectively.

Awards

2003 Director of FENA Focus Center
Professor K.L. Wang was named Director of a new multimillion dollar research center to be led by UCLA. The Functional Engineered Nano Architectronics (FENA) Focus Center is part of an initiative by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), the industry's largest trade association, and the U.S. Department of Defense to expand semiconductor research at universities.
