Biography

Dr. Z. Wang received his Master of Science in Bioengineering from the University of Toledo in 2005, Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Arizona in 2008, and Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Arizona in 2011. In 2014, he was promoted to a visiting Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Texas A&M University-Kingsville due to his outstanding multi-disciplinary research in computer engineering, biomedical imaging, fluid mechanics, and optics. At the Shangdong University, he built one anti-virus software tool for cyber security. At the University of Science and Technology of China, he made research in computing algorithms, artificial intelligence, and classification and compression for remote sensing images. At the University of Toledo, he researched into ultrasound beam-forming and fast frame rate imaging. At the University of Arizona, 1) he applied the acousto-electric (AE) effect on the heart/brain mapping and MEMS AE hydrophone; 2) he designed a biosensor for cancer diagnosis. At the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, he built modeling package for 1) photoacoustic molecular imaging for cancer diagnosis and scaffold implantation; 2) microbubbles in the blood vessel; 3) nanoparticles for cancer treatment. In the Texas A&M University-Kingsville.
