Research and Scholarly Activities
Dr. Wang was trained as a physical chemist. During her career, she had research experience
in experimental spectroscopy and computational modeling for polymers and macromolecular
systems. Since she joined as a faculty member at Memphis in 2003, she has developed
an active research program that focuses on the computational/theoretical studies at
the interface of macromolecular
systems and nanomedicine. Her research work spanned from the study of separation and
characterization of macromolecules and nanoparticles, rational design of polymeric
systems for gene and drug delivery, and the plasmonic optical properties of metallic
nanoparticles and their use in nanomedicines. Her current research focus is in nanomedicine,
i.e. the use and application of nanomaterials for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
Her research group seeks innovative ways to apply theoretical, computational and experimental
(through collaborations) methods to meet challenges in nanomedicines by bridging the
gaps between theories and experiments.
