Prof. Dr. Qinggang Wang | Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology | China

Prof. Dr. Qinggang Wang , is a distinguished professor at the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, specializing in sustainable materials science, polyolefin rubbers synthesis, and chiral polymers synthesis. He earned his B.S. degree in Chemistry from Zhengzhou University in 2005 under the supervision of Prof. Maoping Song and completed his Ph.D. at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2010 with Prof. Yong Tang. From 2011 to 2015, he conducted postdoctoral research at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung, Germany, under the guidance of Nobel Laureate Prof. Dr. Benjamin List, where he advanced expertise in catalytic asymmetric synthesis and polymerization chemistry. Since 2015, he has served as a professor at CAS, where his pioneering work has contributed to the development of chemically recyclable polymers, circular materials economy strategies, and innovative catalytic systems for polymerization and depolymerization. His scholarly impact is demonstrated by 79 publications, 1,274 citations from 816 documents, and an h-index of 20. His notable publications in Green Chemistry, Macromolecules, ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, and JACS highlight groundbreaking contributions, including chemical recycling of PLA plastics, asymmetric kinetic resolution polymerization, and transesterification catalysis for sustainable polyesters. Recognized with the “ZhuLiYueHua Fellowship” (2009) and the “Hundred-Talent Program” award of CAS (2015), Prof. Wang continues to lead research bridging polymer chemistry with sustainability, contributing transformative solutions to global challenges in materials science and green chemistry.
