Wenzhong Wang is a professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, who studies the chemical and physical properties of rocky planets under extreme conditions using first-principles calculations based on quantum mechanics. Particularly, he applies the isotope fractionation during planetary differentiation to investigate the origin and evolution of rocky planets. With the support from NSFC and Carnegie postdoctoral fellowship, he has published more than 40 papers.
