Dr. Wang was trained as a theoretical and computational physicist at Bergen University.
His first post-doc position was at the Cancer Research Institute of Norwegian Radium Hospital. The main goal was to develop data-mining software for biologists for analyzing microarray experiments.
His second post-doc training was at the Biology Department of Columbia University in New York City. The objective was to expand the knowledge in molecular biology and to be able to solve biology problems with computer simulation.
From year 2007 to 2021, he was a scientist at the Oslo University Hospital - Norwegian Radium Hospital, and frequently collaborates with biologists in research projects.
Currently, he is a researcher in University of Oslo. His main research interest is to design/develop advanced mathematical methods and computational tools for solving problems in cancer biology.
