Prof. Bing Wang

Fuzhou University

Wang Bing is an associate researcher at the University of Cambridge. He received his PhD and completed his postdoctoral research at the University of Hull. He is currently with the School of Mechanical Engineering at Fuzhou University, where he serves as a Distinguished Professor under the Fujian Province Minjiang Scholars Program and as a PhD supervisor. He is also the deputy director and a member of the academic committee of the Fujian Provincial Key Laboratory of Terahertz Functional Devices and Intelligent Sensing. In 2024, he was selected by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of China for its High-Level Overseas Talent Return Program, the only recipient from Fujian Province selected by the provincial human resources authority.

He is a young committee member of the Materials Division of the Chinese Society of Mechanical Engineering, an executive council member of the Fujian Society of Mechanical Engineering, and a lifelong member of Clare Hall, University of Cambridge. He serves as a guest editor for four SCI journals and for the Journal of Applied Mechanics, and has also acted as conference chair, co-chair, and in other roles for several well-known domestic and international academic conferences. He is a reviewer for more than 50 SCI journals, including Nature and Advanced Materials.

His long-term research focuses on structural strength theory for aerospace vehicles and spacecraft. His main work covers structurally and functionally synergistic optimal design, multiscale structural mechanics modeling, deployable aerospace structural design, intelligent actuation and control, and nondestructive testing of aerospace composite materials. Over the past five years, he has led five projects, including General Program grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, of which three were national-level projects, and has served as a principal researcher on five additional projects, including those from the UK Aerospace Technology Institute and major scientific and technological projects of Fujian Province. As first or corresponding author, he has published more than 50 SCI papers, over 30 of them in JCR Q1 journals. Two of his papers have been listed as ESI highly cited papers, and one paper has received more than 500 citations. He has also published three English academic monographs and two book chapters, applied for more than 20 invention patents, and received awards including the Top Ten Conference Paper Award at ICFDM 2024 in the field of mechanical design and manufacturing under the Department of Engineering and Materials Science of the NSFC. Several of his research achievements have been translated into practical applications, including use on the Airbus A350, and he has received recognition from EPSRC in the UK.
