Joseph Wang is a Professor of Chemistry (Analytical) at New Mexico State University (NMSU). He holds a Regents Professorship and the Manasse Chair at NMSU. He serves also as the Chief Editor of Electroanalysis and as a member of the editorial board of six other journals. He obtained his higher education at the Israel Institute of Technology (Haifa), being awarded his D. Sc. in 1978. From 1978 to 1980 he served as a research associate at the University of Wisconsin (Madison). Since 1980 he has been a member of the Chemistry department and of the Molecular Biology Program at NMSU. He was the recipient of the 1999 ACS Award for Analytical Instrumentation.
The research interests of Dr. Wang include the development of microfluidic ("Lab-on-Chip") devices, remote sensing, DNA recognition and diagnostics, electrochemical sensing devices for environmental and clinical monitoring, microfabrication and miniaturization, counterterrorism-detection, microseparations, the development and characterization of new surfaces for electroanalysis, sensor/recognition coatings, the development of techniques for ultratrace measurements and the design of on-line flow detectors. Wang's contributions in these directions have been of major importance in the growing popularity of electroanalytical techniques. He has authored over 570 research papers, eight patents, fifteen chapters and the six books.
