Wang Haihui, 1981-1986, undergraduate program, Dept. of Modern Physics, USTC; 1986-1989, master’s degree program, Dept. of Thermal Science and Energy Engineering, USTC; 1997-2001, Ph.D. program, Dept. of Chemical Engineering, University of Newcastle, Australia; 1989-1997, teaching assistant, lecturer, associate professor, State Key Laboratory of Fire Science of USTC, participating in the construction of the State Key Laboratory of Fire Science and taking charge of the Lab of Forest Fire; 2001-2004, research cooperator, Dept. of Chemical Engineering, University of Newcastle, doing research and guiding thesis writing for honor students and postgraduate students; 2004-2007, research scientist, Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, presiding over research on fire phenomenon of forest and urban fringe; currently a research fellow in State Key Laboratory of Fire Science of USTC, professor and Ph.D. supervisor in Dept. of Safety Science and Engineering, and holding concurrent posts as standing member of council of China Energy Society and member of Forest Fire Prevention Committee of China Society of Forestry. Prof. Wang has participated in nearly 20 research projects, including project of State Special Funds for Forest Fire Prevention, key subject of National Natural Science Foundation, key subject of Australian Research Funds and subject of Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization. He has published over 100 academic papers on top international journals in the filed of energy and fire safety, like Combustion and Flame, Energy and Fuels, Fuel, Combustion Science and Technology, Fire Safety Journal, etc. Wang was invited to write a summary of researches on low temperature oxidation and self-heating coal by the most authoritative journal in this field, and wrote a monograph on material flammability testing technology in cooperation with other experts in the filed of fire safety. He was once a reviewer for Combustion and Flame, Energy and Fuels, Fuel and Fire Safety Journal. He has won for times awards from USTC and Anhui Provincial Government, and also the awards from Australian Federal Government of Education, Science and Training, Australian Academy of Science and University of Newcastle during study and work there. He won the Second Prize of CAS Natural Science Award as main contributor in 1996 and was selected into CAS Hundred Talents Program in 2009.
