The Wang Group
About Us
Why: Harness Magnetics for Mankind; Unlock AI for All. (Our Motto)
Who: Prof. Shan X. Wang (PI), Current Members, Alumni
What: The Wang Group are engaged in the research of magnetic nanotechnologies, information storage, and biosensing and edge AI, broadly defined, including biochips and medical imaging, in vitro diagnostics, biomarkers, cell sorting, magnetic nanoparticles, nano-patterning, magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM), spintronic materials and sensors, magnetic write/read heads, as well as magnetic integrated inductors and transformers. The group uses modern thin-film growth techniques, lithography, and nanofabrication to engineer new electromagnetic materials and devices and to study their behavior at nanoscale and at very high frequencies. In more recent years, the group have also embarked on AI in smart mobile platforms, big data mining for biomarker discovery and personalized medicine, binding kinetics for drug development, magnetic nanoparticle imaging, and RF magnetics.
Where: The Wang Group conducts research in the Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials (GLAM), Stanford Nanofabrication Facility (SNF) and Stanford Nano Shared Facilities (SNSF), Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford (MIPS, a division in Radiology, Stanford School of Medicine), Nonvolatile Memory Technology Research Initiative (NMTRI), Bio-X, SystemX Alliance, Stanford Cancer Institute, Stanford Cardiovascular Institute, Canary Center for Early Detection, Precourt Institute for Energy, Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute, Center for Innovation in Global Health (CIGH), among others.

Prof. Nian Sun (Northeastern University, Stanford PhD, 2001, Wang Group alum) is elected to 2024 Class Fellows of National Academy of Inventors (NAI)!
Nian Sun, a COE Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Northeastern University, has dedicated his career to advancing magnetic, ferroelectric, and multiferroic materials. His pioneering research integrates these materials into microsystems for various applications, including sensing, memory, and RF electronics. Sun’s work has led to the development of novel electrochemical sensors that diagnose diseases such as Alzheimer’s, lung cancer, and diabetes.
After earning his Ph.D. from Stanford University, Sun held research positions at IBM and Hitachi Global Storage Technologies before joining Northeastern. His extensive list of honors includes the Humboldt Research Award, the Søren Buus Outstanding Research Award, the NSF CAREER Award, and more. Sun has published over 280 papers, holds more than 30 patents, and is a Fellow of IEEE, the American Physical Society, and other prestigious organizations.
