Kan-Chang Wang            Origin/Culture/Country: Chinese

Kan-Chang Wang: was a nuclear physicist from China. He was one of the initiators of China's researches in nuclear physics, cosmic rays and particle physics. Wang Ganchang figured among the top leaders, pioneers and scientists of the Chinese nuclear deterrent program. Member of the Chinese Academy of Science, and member of the Chinese Communist party.In 1930, Wang first proposed to use a cloud chamber to study a new type of high-energy rays induced by the bombardment of beryllium with a particle, experiment conducted one year later by the English physicist James Chadwick, thus discovering a new type of particle, the neutron, allowing him to win the 1935 Nobel Prize in Physics.

A full professor at Shanghai Second Medical University before its amalgamation, from 1987 to 1996 he was Director of the Hematology Institute at Rai-Jin Hospital in Shanghai. His research has led to the improved survival of patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML).

Jin-Shan Wang            Origin/Culture/Country: Chinese

Jin-Shan Wang: is a Chinese organic chemist. Wang is the current Zhi Yuan Chair Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Chemical Engineering. In 1989, Wang went to study in Belgium with Prof. Ph. Teyssie and obtained his doctorate degree with highest possible rank (avec la plus grande distinction et les felicitations du jury) from the University of Liège, Belgium, in 1993. Wang published more than 20 papers, mostly in Macromolecules, and obtained 12 issued US and European patents in the area of living polymerization from his four-years doctoral research work. Months before his departure to the United States to continue his research at the Carnegie Mellon University with Krzysztof Matyjaszewski in 1994, he started conceptualizing free-radical catalyzed living radical polymerization, after studying a series of published papers on free-anion catalyzed living anionic polymerization (also called group-transfer polymerization) of methacrylate and transition-metal / free-radical catalyzed atom (group)-transfer radical addition (ATRA). Shortly after arriving in Prof. Matyjaszewski's laboratories in 1994, Wang started to implement his ideas of applying the principle of atom (group)-transfer radical addition to living radical polymerization in the lab with self-made air- and oxygen-free mini-reactors. Wang did seminal work on Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) during that period of time. With Prof. Matyjaszewki, Wang published three original papers on ATRP and reverse ATRP. Wang is one of the major contributors to the birth and mechanism of ATRP. He is the first Chinese polymer chemist to discover a polymerization chemistry.
