Dr. Wang has a bachelors and masters degree in Mineral and Petroleum Engineering from National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan and received his M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. While working for his doctoral degree, Dr. Wang worked as a research associate at the Center of Distributed Object Computing where he conducted research and development work on a QoS-enabled component middleware framework called CIAO, based on the CORBA Component model (CCM).

Dr. Wang's research interests focus on software architecture for supporting systemic aspects in component-based middleware systems using meta-programming techniques and aspect-oriented approaches. He is also interested in other component/object-oriented programming approaches, dynamic configuration and reconfiguration of software system, and model and synthesizing of large-scale applications. Dr. Wang's work currently focuses on CORBA and grid middleware development environment for enabling remote visualization, distributed scientific data analysis systems, data and work flow management for large-scale scientific applications.
