Nanoscale Horizons Emerging Investigator Series
Congratulations to our latest Emerging Investigator Professor Chunlan Wang (Xi’an Polytechnic University, China)!
Since the launch of Nanoscale Horizons, the journal has had a clear vision to publish exceptionally high-quality work whilst acting as a resource to researchers working at all career levels. We continue to be impressed by the quality of the research published and at the same time are looking for new ways of recognising and promoting the outstanding authors behind articles published in the journal.
We launched our Emerging Investigator Series to showcase the exceptional work published by early-career researchers in the journal and regularly select a recently published Communication article to feature in an interview-style Editorial article with the corresponding author. We hope that the series will also benefit the nanoscience community by highlighting the exciting work being done by its early-career members.
We are excited to share our latest Emerging Investigator, Professor Chunlan Wang (Xi’an Polytechnic University, China)!
Read our interview with Chunlan here
Chunlan Wang is currently a Professor at Xi’an Polytechnic University in China. She received her doctoral degree in Condensed Matter Physics from Wuhan University (2015). She is one of the Fifth Batch of “Young Talents Support Program” for Universities in Shaanxi Province, part of the Experts of the Science and Technology Think Tank of Xi’an Science and Technology Association (First Batch), and one of the Ministry of Education’s “Young Backbone Teachers of Central and Western Universities for Domestic Visiting Scholars”.
Congratulations to Chunlan for her excellent work! You can read her featured Emerging Investigator article from Nanoscale Horizons below.
