Biography
Professor Hao Wang has been an active researcher for over 30 years. He received his PhD from UQ, then moved to UniSQ in 2006. He was the Director of Centre for Future Materials at UniSQ, and currently is the Theme Leader for Functional Materials in the Centre. He was the ARC College of Experts member from 2018-2020. His research has focused on carbon fibre composites, plastic waste, flame retardants, CO2 conversion, and green concrete (geopolymer). He has published more than 450 refereed papers in high impact journals such as Advanced Materials, Advanced Energy Materials, and Progress in Materials Science, Progress in Polymer Science, with Google Scholar H-index of 100 and citations over 40,000. He is the Clarivate Highly Cited Author in Material Science in 2023, and listed as the esteemed Top 2% of world scientists. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Composites Part B: Engineering, the world No. 1 Impact Factor journal in the composites area (IF 13.1). He is currently the President of Asian-Australasian Association for Composite Materials. He was the Chair of the 11th Asian-Australasian Conference on Composite Materials (ACCM-11), Cairns, Australia in 2018, the second largest international composites conference in the world.
