[2] From 2004 to 2008, he served as the Director of the Center for Bioelectronics and Biosensors at the Biodesign Institute and as a professor of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry at Arizona State University (ASU).

His work in the field of nanomachines, involving novel motor designs and applications, has led to the world's fastest nanomotor,[10] the first demonstration of nanomotor operation in a living organism (towards treating stomach and lung disorders), embedding microrobots within oral pills,[11] a novel motion-based DNA biosensing,[12] nanomachine-enabled isolation of biological targets, such as cancer cell identification,[13] and advanced motion control in the nanoscale.

[14] Wang has also introduced the use of body-worn flexible electrochemical sensors for non-invasive biomarker monitoring and epidermal biofuel cells that harvest sweat bioenergy,[15] including textile and epidermal-tattoo devices, touch-based fingertip sweat sensing, microneedle-based electrochemical biosensors for real-time, and pain-free quantification of circulating metabolites and electrolytes.

[16] He introduced multi-modal sensing platforms that offer simultaneous real-time monitoring of chemical markers, ECG, EEG, and vital signs, such as blood pressure.

Wang also introduced on-body microgrid systems for managing the power requirements of wearable sensor platforms.
