Research
Wang's research interests include the structure and reaction dynamics of surface and interface, linear and nonlinear optical spectroscopy and modern analytical spectroscopy. He is mostly known for his "seminal contributions to the development of surface nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy and to the understanding of molecular interaction and structure at interfaces". His most cited paper so far is a systematic survey on the "Quantitative spectral and orientational analysis in surface sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy (SFG-VS)". In recent years, he developed the sub wavenumber high resolution broadband SFG-VS and demonstrated its ability for obtaining intrinsic and accurate spectral lineshape in SFG-VS and other nonlinear spectroscopic techniques, such as the Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy (FSRS).
