Jin Wang is the Walt and Virginia Woltosz Endowed Professor of Chemical Engineering at Auburn University. She has extensive expertise and experience in biochemical engineering, microbiology, modern control theory, and advanced computational skills. Before joining Auburn University, she had been a Senior Development Engineer at AMD (Advanced Process Control Group) for five years. This industrial experience profoundly shaped her research philosophy, and she is determined to develop practical and effective solutions to address high-impact societal challenges. Her industrial experience also offered a valuable perspective on intellectual property development and technology commercialization.

The central theme of Jin's research is to apply systems engineering principles and techniques to understand, predict, intensify, and control complex dynamic systems, including both engineered systems and microbial organisms. Her current research interests include integrated biogas valorization and nutrient recovery using methanotroph-photoautotroph coculture, methane capture from air, genome-scale metabolic network modeling and analysis of microbial communities with experimental validations, and big data analytics for smart manicuring. She holds 15 patents granted by USPTO and was inducted into the National Academy of Inventors as a senior member in 2022.
