Chun Hui Wang

Scientia Professor Chun Wang is the Hub Director and Head, School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at UNSW and an elected Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Science and Engineering (FTSE). Prior to joining UNSW 2016 he held the appointments as the Head of Advanced Composites Technologies at the Defence Science and Technology Organisation between 1995 and 2009, and the Director of the Sir Lawrence Wackett Aerospace Research Centre at RMIT University between 2009 and 2016.

His research interests include mechanics of multifunctional composites, and light alloys. Many of his research findings have been translated to practical applications, including as multiaxial fatigue design model in a world-leading software (Wang-Brown model in MSC Fatigue), standard for designing composite repairs, and time-reversal imaging algorithm adopted in commercial products for structural health monitoring. He is currently leading a team to develop wearable sensors for monitoring vital physiological markers for tracking human health.
