Qing Hua Wang, PhD

Prior to joining Choate, Qing Hua was an Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Arizona State University, where she conducted research in nanomaterials, surface science, and two-dimensional (2D) materials and their use in energy and environmental applications. Previously, Qing Hua was a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT where she conducted research on the chemical, electronic, and interfacial properties of graphene and 2D materials. During her PhD at Northwestern University in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, she studied self-assembled organic molecular systems interfaced with semiconductors and graphene using scanning tunneling microscopy.
