Qingsheng Wang is a Chinese–American chemical engineer and academic who serves as a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University.[1] He has published over 200 journal papers, 14 book chapters, 2 books, and holds 4 patents/copyrights, and has supervised 20 PhD and 31 MS students, with three pursuing academic careers and the others contributing to the energy and the pharmaceutical industry.[2] Currently, Wang leads the Texas A&M University Multiscale Process Safety Laboratory, where he pioneers research in process safety, energy safety, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for safety, large-scale field testing, and flame retardants.[3]

Education

Wang earned his bachelor's degree in 2003 and master's degree in 2005, both in Chemistry from Zhejiang University. He went on to Texas A&M University to study chemistry under F. Albert Cotton,[4] and obtained his doctoral degree in Chemical Engineering in 2010 under the supervision of M. Sam Mannan.[5] Wang was significantly influenced by Trevor Kletz during the period when Kletz served as an adjunct professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University.[6]

Career

In 2010, Wang joined the faculty at Oklahoma State University and received early tenure in 2015.[7] In 2019, Wang moved back to Texas A&M University and was promoted to Professor in 2024. His research interests include the following: process safety, energy safety, AI and machine learning, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for energy and process systems, and flame-retardant polymers.[8][9] He published a book "Machine Learning in Chemical Safety and Health: Fundamentals with Applications."[10]

Wang is an Editor for Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries,[11] Subject Editor for Process Safety and Environmental Protection,[12] and Associate Editor for Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene.[13] He also serves as the editorial board member of Journal of Hazardous Materials,[14] ACS Chemical Health and Safety,[15] Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry,[16] and Process Safety Progress.[17] He is a registered professional engineer in the state of California and is a Certified Safety Professional.[11]
