Cong Wang, Assistant Professor at Southwest Jiaotong University. He received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the Department of Biomedical Engineering, City University of Hong Kong in October 2025, and joined Prof. Shaobing Zhou’s research group at Southwest Jiaotong University in December 2025.

His research interests focus on bio-inspired biomaterials and advanced manufacturing, with particular emphasis on visible-light-controlled advanced manufacturing, spider-silk-inspired biomimetic materials, and the regulation of biomaterials and self-assembled structures.

Dr. Wang has published more than 10 SCI-indexed papers as first or co-first author in leading journals, including Nature Communications, Matter, and Advanced Functional Materials. He is also the inventor of one U.S. patent.
