Weigang Wang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Arizona. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Delaware in 2008. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Johns Hopkins University from 2008 to 2012. He joined the University of Arizona in 2012 and established the Spin-Lab. His research is focused on spintronics, which is a multidisciplinary field involving with physics, electrical engineering, materials science, and computer science & engineering. He is the receipt of an NSF CAREER award to study ultra-low energy switching in spin devices. Research in this direction may help to build new types of transistors that consume less energy in future generations of computers.
