Lan Wang was awarded a PhD degree in Materials Sciences in 2006 at the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities. After the defence of Wang’s PhD thesis in Jan 2006, Wang became an Assistant Professor at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. He was the Principle Investigator of the Magnetic Materials and Spintronics Lab for the whole period at Nanyang Technological University (from 2006 to 2014). In November 2014, he joined RMIT University as an Associate Professor of Physics in the School of Science. Lan Wang was the Leader of theme B of the ARC CoE – Future Low Energy Electronics Technologies and RMIT Node Leader of ARC CoE – Future Low Energy Electronics Technologies. In March 31^st, 2023, Lan full-time joined the School of Physics at Hefei University of Technology as a Distinguished Professor (HuBing II Professor). He now holds an honorary position at RMIT University. Lan's current research team 低维磁性与自旋��子器件研究团队-物理学院
