Work Experience
Dr. Wang is a professor in College of Resources and Environment at Graduate University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is also a certified groundwater professional with over 20 years of experience in hydrogeology and environmental sciences. He has a strong interdisciplinary educational and professional background in hydrogeology, surface water hydrology, geology, geological engineering, environmental sciences, and computer science.   Dr. Wang’s research has been focusing on groundwater flow modeling in complex geologic media such as fractured rocks, subsurface fate and transport processes, groundwater contamination control & remediation, and ecosystem restoration. Dr. Wang has performed scientific computer modeling related to subsurface environmental research and engineering activities and used a wide variety of environmental modeling software applications for many years. Particularly, Dr. Wang had been working as Senior Scientist and Project Scientist for more than 5 years in the Center for Subsurface Modeling Support (CSMoS) at US EPA R.S. Kerr Environmental Research Center (Kerr National Research Lab) located in Ada, Oklahoma. In those positions, he had taken the lead, or participated as a key scientist, in performing research, development, and applications of flow and contaminant transport modeling in the subsurface for EPA projects, conducting research, development, and applications of hydrogeologic modeling in support of ecosystem restoration for EPA projects, and reviewing numerous EPA technical reports and software packages for groundwater protection and restoration. Healso had been in charge of the Quality Assurance (QA) review on the CSMoS technical reports prepared for US EPA. In addition, Dr. Wang worked as a Lecturer and Associate Professor at Liaoning Technical University from 1988 to 1996.
