Xiaoping Wang

Senior Scientist

Dr. Xiaoping Wang is a senior scientist in the Neutron Scattering Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He received his BSc and MSc degrees in chemistry from Nanjing University, China, and his Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry from Texas A&M University, where he did his graduate work with Professor F. Albert Cotton. He then undertook postdoctoral research in neutron crystallography with Dr. A. J. Schultz at Argonne National Laboratory. Dr. Wang joined Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 2008 and is now a lead scientist responsible for the TOPAZ single crystal diffractometer at the Spallation Neutron Source.

Dr. Wang’s work has appeared in more than 215 peer-reviewed scientific publications. He publishes broadly in chemistry, materials science, and physics. He is an internationally established leader in the field of chemical crystallography and a Fellow of the American Crystallographic Association. His research interests encompass various aspects of the field, including structural chemistry, magnetism, hydrogen bonding interactions in functional materials for sustainable energy and carbon capture applications, and advancing software tools for single crystal neutron diffraction by harnessing the power of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing.
