Tiesheng Wang （王铁胜） is working on materials chemistry and nanomaterials. He is also interested in designing and developing responsive functional materials towards 'materials automation'. More details are given below:

1. Developing materials at nano- or sub-nanoscale, particularly about composites based on host-guest systems. Hosts include but not limit to nanoporous materials (e.g. metal-organic frameworks, MOFs). Tiesheng is exploring (i) the states and properties of nanoentities inside confined nanospace and (ii) host-guest interactions.

2. Designing and developing responsive functional materials to realize functions (sensing, actuation, energy storage, etc.) towards 'materials automation' (a.k.a. autonomous materials). A part of the research has a long-term collaboration with Dr Stoyan Smoukov (Reader at QML, UK).
