Before joining CAS Atlantic (05/2012), he was a research fellow in the National University of Singapore (2010-2012). In 2009, he was awarded by Alberta Ingenuity of Canada to be an Alberta industry R&D associate to conduct research on applied science in Madentec Ltd, Canada. Prior to that, he was a research associate in University of Alberta, Canada (2008-2009). Dr. Wang received BS degree in applied mathematics from Ocean University of China (1989) and MS and PhD degrees in computer science from Carleton University and University of Alberta, Canada in 2001 and 2008 respectively. He has published more than 30 technical papers.
Paul Wiseman From McGill University to the University of California, Los Angeles, California NanoSystems Institute, Paul Wiseman obtained his BSc (Honours) from St. Francis Xavier University in 1989 and PhD in Chemistry from the University of Western Ontario in 1995 where he held a NSERC postgraduate research fellowship. Afterwards he was awarded a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Tokyo and Nagoya University, and later became a LJIS interdisciplinary postdoctoral research fellow at the University of California, San Diego. In 2001, Paul started in the Departments of Chemistry and Physics at McGill University where he was became a full professor in 2013. His research focuses on biophysics measurements of protein interactions and transport in living cells and neurons. Wiseman has published 62 peer reviewed publications 2001 including 2 journal cover articles and 6 Faculty of 1000 Biology Selections. He was awarded the Young Fluorescence Investigator award in 2005 by the Biophysical Society and the 2009 Keith Laidler Award in Physical Chemistry by the CSC. In 2007 he was awarded the Yaffe Teaching Award and the Principal’s Prize for Teaching by McGill as well as the J.D. Jackson Teaching Award in Physics in 2012.
