Dr.
Wujian Miao is a Full Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry in the School of
Mathematics and Natural Sciences at The University of Southern Mississippi,
where he has been employed since 2004. His research interests include
electroanalytical chemistry in solution-phase and solid-state, chemically modified
composite electrodes, electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance,
electrochemical methodology, scanning electrochemical microscopy,
electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL), biosensors based on ECL technology,
ECL detection of explosive materials and chemical warfare
agents, nanotechnology, electrocatalysts for formic acid oxidation fuel
cells, and photocatalysts and electrocatalysts for water splitting. Dr. Miao is
the author or coauthor of 8 book chapters, ~60 peer-reviewed research papers,
~100 conference proceedings or abstracts, and 1 US/WO patent. He is an active
member of the American Chemical Society, the Society for Electroanalytical
Chemistry, the Electrochemical Society, and the International Society of
Electrochemistry.
Before
joining Southern Miss, Dr. Miao was a Postdoctoral Fellow (Feb. 2001-July
2004), working with Dr. Allen J. Bard in the Department of Chemistry and
Biochemistry at The University of Texas at Austin.
Dr.
Miao was a Research Scientist in the Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial
Research Organization (CSIRO), Australia, upon the completion of his PhD degree
(1999) from Monash University (Australia) under the guidance of Prof. Alan M.
Bond. Dr. Miao received his M.S. degree (1991) from Sun Yat-Sen (Zhongshan)
University (China).
After completing his undergraduate study (1982) from Nantong
University (China), Dr. Miao remained at the same college until he went to
Australia (1995) for pursuing his PhD degree. In Nantong, he served as
Chemistry Lab Technician (1982-1985), Director of chemistry labs (1986-1988),
Lecturer (1991-1995), Assistant Chairman (1992-1994) and Chairman (1994-1995)
of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
Dr. Miao has taught a number of
courses, including Analytical Chemistry, Instrumental Analysis, Chemical
Literature, Analytical Electrochemistry, and General Chemistry.
Dr. Miao has been the recipient of many honors and awards,
including "Top Young Teacher in General Universities & Colleges of
Jiangsu Province" (The Education Commission of Jiangsu Province, China,
1994), "Study Abroad Scholarship" (The State
Education Commission of China, 1995), "Monash Graduate Scholarship"
(Monash University, Australia, 1996-1999), "Aubrey Keith Lucas & Ella
Ginn Lucas Endowment for Faculty Excellence Award" (University of Southern
Mississippi, 2008), "NSF CAREER Award" (The National Science
Foundation, 2010), "Innovation Award for Applied Research"
(University of Southern Mississippi, 2011), "Distinguished Visiting
Professor" of Beijing University of Technology (2016-2018), and the
World's Top 2% Most-Cited Scientists (2019-).
Dr. Miao served in the Editorial Board of ISRN Analytical
Chemistry (2012-2014), and as an Editor of CLEAN-Soil, Air, Water
(Wiley) (2012-2016).
