Summary
Daniel Wang is a Materials and Nanoscience student at the University of Waterloo with nine years of hands-on experience in interdisciplinary lab work spanning organic synthesis, electrochemistry, and solar cell fabrication. He has advanced skills in catalyst design and electrochemical sensing—optimizing metal phthalocyanine complexes for CO2 detection and developing PEDOT:PSS–AuNP systems for non-enzymatic glucose monitoring. Daniel has improved perovskite solar cell efficiency from 13% to 18% through transport layer and solvent-ratio optimization and reduced CO2 reduction overpotential by engineering nanoparticle chains. His industry experience as a medicinal chemist includes multi-step synthesis and potency improvements of drug candidates, while his teaching roles demonstrate clear communication of complex STEM concepts. Curious and self-driven, he pairs rigorous experimental technique with a knack for practical optimization and interdisciplinary problem solving.
