Dr Yuan Wang

Advance QLD Industry Fellow

School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering
Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology

Overview

Dr Yuan Wang's research interests are in the development and advanced manufacturing of functional medical devices that can enable novel biomedical therapeutics for addressing current challenging diseases or healthcare tasks. He has conducted research in the field of metallic medical devices using additive manufacturing, innovative heat treatment methodologies, and machine learning-driven image analysis techniques, particularly focusing on their mechanical properties, biodegradability, and defect examination. During his PhD, he had also conducted extensive research in high-performance wearable thermoelectric devices that can be used for personal thermal management and energy harvesting from the human body. He has published several ESI highly cited papers and more than half of his work was published in top journals with IF>15, attracting >2700 citations.

Dr Wang joined UQ in 2020 firstly as a Research Engineer, then a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, and now an Advance Queensland Industry Research Fellow in the School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering. He is using his fellowship working on the translation of his research in machine learning-driven inspection systems to help Australian medical device manufacturers with improved manufacturing processes for more effective participation in global supply chains. Meanwhile, Dr Wang is actively engaging in diverse responsibilities including teaching, supervision, and service.
