Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox scientist Evelyn Ning-Yi Wang is a mechanical engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she is the Ford Professor of Mechanical Engineering,[1] director of the Device Research Laboratory, and chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.Шаблон:R Topics in her research include heat transfer, ultrahydrophobicity, solar energy and nanostructures.Шаблон:R
Biography
Wang is the daughter of Kang L. Wang, an electrical engineer who emigrated from Taiwan to the US to become a graduate student at MIT; her mother Edith Wang was also a Taiwanese graduate student at MIT, where both parents met one another. Her father became a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Wang grew up in Santa Monica, California, attending public school there and traveling internationally as part of a youth orchestra.Шаблон:R
Like her parents and her two older brothers, Wang attended MIT herself, earning a bachelor's degree there in 2000.Шаблон:R Her doctorate is from Stanford University in 2006.Шаблон:R Her dissertation, Characterization of Microfabricated Two-Phase Heat Sinks for IC Cooling Applications, was jointly supervised by Thomas W. Kenny and Kenneth E. Goodson.Шаблон:R
Wang did postdoctoral research at Bell Labs before returning to MIT as a faculty member in 2007.Шаблон:R
Career and research
Wang is particularly known for her research on solar-powered devices to extract drinkable water from the atmosphere.Шаблон:R Scientific American and the World Economic Forum named her technology that produces water from air in an arid climate as one of the "Top 10 Emerging Technologies of 2017".Шаблон:R Her water extraction device, which she designed in collaboration with Omar M. Yaghi, has been compared to the moisture Шаблон:Not a typo on the desert planet Tatooine in Star Wars.[2] However, rather than using refrigeration to condense water vapor, it uses a metal–organic framework to trap water vapor in the night and then uses the heat from solar energy to release the water from the framework during the day.Шаблон:R[3] Her research group has also developed a solar powered desalination system in producing clean water.[4]
Biden administration
Wang was nominated by President Joe Biden in March 2022 as director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy of the U.S. Department of Energy.[5] She was confirmed by the United States Senate on December 22, 2022.[6]
Awards and honors
Wang was awarded the Young Faculty Award by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in 2008 for the project Tunable Nanostructured Arrays for Stable High-Flux Microchannel Heat Sinks.[7] She was awarded the Air Force Office of Scientific Research Young Investigator Award in 2011,[8] the U.S. Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award in 2012, [9] and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Bergles-Rohsenow Young Investigator Award in 2012.[10] The ASME gave Wang their Gustus L. Larson Memorial Award in 2017; she is also a Fellow of the ASME.Шаблон:R In 2018 she and co-author Omar M. Yaghi won the 8th Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz International Prize for Water.Шаблон:R She was named to the 2021 class of Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.Шаблон:R In 2023 she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.Шаблон:R
