Siwei Wang
Postdoctoral Researcher
swang35(at)nd.edu
Siwei received his B.S. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2014. He then pursued his research on energy transfer in light-harvesting complexes under the guidance of Prof. Gregory Scholes at Princeton University, where he obtained his Ph.D. degree. From 2020 to 2024, he continued his academic journey as a Postdoctoral researcher, working on macroscopic quantum electrodynamics with Prof. Liang-Yan Hsu at the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences, Academia Sinica. In 2025, Siwei joined the Theta group, where he focuses on light-matter interactions and molecular exciton dynamics.
