Qining Leo Wang received a B.S. degree in Electronic Science and Technology from the Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing, China in 2019. He is currently a doctoral student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). His major research interest is digital microfluidics ecosystem for lab automation in molecular biology and chemical applications. He has developed a hand-held electronic system for digital microfluidics being used by 8 research labs in 5 countries. He has been leading a team of graduate and undergraduate students with multidisciplinary backgrounds to develop a CAD tool for digital microfluidic chip design, operating software for digital microfluidics control systems, and a cloud manufacturing platform for digital microfluidic chip fabrication. He has also been exploring an emerging microfluidic mechanism called electro-dewetting for digital microfluidics.
