Suning Wang (September 19, 1958 – April 27, 2020) was a Chinese-born Canadian chemist. She was a Professor of Chemistry, Research Chair and head of the Wang Group at Queen's University, Canada, having joined the Department of Chemistry at Queen's University in 1996.[2] Wang worked on the development of new Organometallic chemistry and luminescent materials chemistry. Her research interests also included the work on organic Photovoltaics and Nanoparticle, stimuli-responsive materials as well as OLEDs.[3][4] Wang and her group developed a simple method of producing graphene-like lattice through light exposure, which may contribute to a huge field of future use.[5] Wang held several patents related to the application of luminescent compounds and boron compounds.
Wang co-authored over 285 publications. Wang was a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and a fellow of the Chemical Institute of Canada. In 2007, Wang received the Alcan Award for her extraordinary devotions to Organic chemistry. In 2015, she was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Wang was awarded a Killam Research Fellowship from Canada Council for the Arts.[4][6]
In 2019, Wang was nominated for and was recognized as a Distinguished Professor at Queen's University.[7] The Distinguished Professor Program was created to celebrate some of the university's top internationally-recognized researchers.
