Professor Michael Yu Wang has been with CUHK since
2000 and is the director of Computational Modeling and Design Laboratory. Prior
to joining CUHK, he had been with the Department of Mechanical Engineering of
the University of Maryland at College Park for ten years, where he was an
Associate Professor with tenure.
Professor Wang received his B.S degree in Mechanical and Manufacturing
Engineering from Xi'an Jiaotong University (China) (1982), M.S. degree in Engineering
Mechanics from Pennsylvania State University
(1985), and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon
University (1989).
He has developed 43 research projects supported by the National Science
Foundation (NSF), Boeing, Chrysler, ALCOA, Maryland
Industrial Partnerships (MIPS) in USA, by RGC and ITC and local industries in
Hong Kong, and by NSFC and MOST in China. He has supervised 13 PhD, 11 MS and 2
MPhil degree students. He is the author of over 200 technical articles and
has one US patent.
Professor Wang is an editor for Computer-Aided Design, Structural and Multidisciplinary
Optimization, Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering, and Assembly Automation
Journal. He served as a Senior Editor of IEEE Trans. on Automation Science and
Engineering (2003-2008), and an Associate Editor of IEEE Trans. on Robotics and
Automation (1998-2002) and of ASME Journal of Manufacturing Science and
Engineering (1999-2002). He was the conference chair of 5th ASME Design for
Manufacturing Conference in 2000, the Conference Chair (in 2006) and the
Program Chair (in 2005) of the IEEE Conference on Automation Science and
Engineering, the Program Chair of IEEE/ASME International Conference on
Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (2008), and the General Co-Chair of IEEE
International Conference on Robotics and Automation (2011).
He received a Research Initiation Award from USA NSF (1993), a Ralph R.
Teetor Educational Award from SAE in 1994 and a LaRoux K. Gillespie Outstanding Young Manufacturing
Engineer Award from Society of Manufacturing Engineers in 1995, and was a
Boeing - A.D. Welliver Faculty Summer Fellow in 1998.
He received the Kayamori Best Paper Award of 2001
IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, the Best Conference
Paper Award of 2007 International CAD Conference & Exhibition, the Compliant Mechanisms Award-Theory of ASME 31st
Mechanisms and Robotics Conference in 2007, and the Best Paper Award in
Information (with P. Song and X. J. Wu) of IEEE International Conference on
Information and Automation (2009). He was awarded the Distinguished Young
Investigator Award from the Natural Science Foundation of China (2002) and the
China State Natural Science Prize (Class II) from the Ministry of Science &
Technology of China (2012). He was named Chang Jiang (Cheung Kong) Scholar by
the Ministry of Education (China) and Li Ka Shing Foundation (Hong Kong) in
2005, and Distinguished Overseas Scholar by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in
2008. He was awarded the Research Excellence Award (2008) of CUHK. He is a Distinguished
Lecturer of IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (2006-2010).
He is a fellow
of ASME, HKIE, and IEEE.
He was a visiting scholar in the Department of Mechanical Engineering
of Stanford University in Summer 2003, A*STAR OAP Fellow in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore in
2003, Guest Professor in Shanghai Jiaotong
University and Haerbin Institute of Technology, Chang
