Dr. Cheng Wang is a Physicist Staff Scientist at the ALS, LBNL. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in physics from Jilin University, China in 2002, and received his Ph.D. in physics in North Carolina State University advised by Prof. Harald Ade in 2008. After graduation, he joined the ALS, LBNL where he led the development of Resonant Soft X-ray Scattering for soft materials and led the construction of the world’s first RSoXS beamline at ALS beamline 11.0.1.2. He is a leading expert on the development of soft X-ray metrology and utilize advanced synchrotron x-ray probes such as X-ray scattering, microscopy and spectroscopy to elucidate the morphology, chemistry, and interfacial structure of broad range of complex materials.
