Description
Prof. Lei Wang is now with the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, as a Distinguished Investigator of Biomedical Engineering. Dr. Wang is a member of the National Technological Innovation of Ten-Thousand Talents and the State Special Allowance experts. He is a committee member of the Chinese Society of Biomedical Engineering and the National Key R&D Program on Proactive Health and S&T for Aging. Dr. Wang’s research has long been focused on Body Sensor Network – feature engineering for multiple body sensing modalities such as physiology, psychology, and biomotion. He is an IEEE Senior member and was selected for the list of the world’s top 2% scientists by Stanford University and Elsevier (2023, 2025). Some of his BSN technologies were successfully transferred to the Low-cost and High-performance Medical Device industry. He has convinced analytical and practical technology background in medical robotics and wearable devices – interfacing with various sensors/programming embedded software / RF links to base-station units, as well as implementing data analysis algorithms, are daily work over the past decades. He did various R&D projects planning, generating proposals/reports, as well as hands-on technology developments, all from the initial ideas to the final working protocols. Authored 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers, fifteen books and book chapters, and been awarded 100 patents, with 5000+ SCI citations and 10000+ Google Scholar citations. As a professional Biomedical Engineering researcher, he has plenty of opportunities collaborating/liaising with clinics (doctors and vets, mainly for medical trials) and industry partners, which involved quite a lot of work on planning, budgeting, and/or outsourcing. On the academic side, he chaired many conference sessions and won several significant grant proposals. He has supervised 18 Ph.D. students and 50 M.Sc. students for their theses, and instructed several tutorials/courses such as medical electronics and signal processing, bio-sensing, and medical devices. He has rich experiences on managing a group of students and young researchers – at the moment leading a multi-disciplinary scientific research team with several assistant professors, senior engineers, and postgraduates. He is highly self-motivated and capable of working effectively either in a team situation or individually with minimal assistance or under multiple tasks.
