Dr. Joseph Wang, director of the Center for Bioelectronics and Biosensors in the Biodesign Institute at ASU, has recently joined the elite ranks of researcher citations. Wang was the top ranked researcher in the field of engineering (out of 5537 authors) and the seventh most cited in chemistry (out of a total of 5,977 authors) for research papers published over the last decade. The data was gathered from the Institute for Scientific Information’s (ISI) Essential Science Indicators from 1995-2005. The latest rankings are indicative of a prolific publication career for Wang, who also received a special ISI Citation Laureate for his performance from 1991-2001 and was given an award in 1996 as the most cited electrochemist.
Wang, who recently was recruited to the Biodesign Institute and serves a joint appointment as professor in the chemical and materials department at the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering and Department of Chemistry at ASU, is a renowned expert in nanomaterial-based biosensors that operate at the scale of a thousand times smaller than the width of a human hair.
Each month, innovative research from the Biodesign Institute appears in the world’s premier scientific journals. Many such studies have graced the covers of these journals, showcasing Biodesign research ranging from water remediation to nanometer-scale structures built from DNA.
