Zhong Lin Wang (Chinese: 王中林; pinyin: Wáng Zhōnglín; born November 1961^[1]) is a Chinese-American physicist, materials scientist and engineer specialized in nanotechnology, energy science and electronics. He is one of the most influential scientists in the field, being awarded the Albert Einstein World Award of Science in 2019, and is often dubbed the ‘father of nanogenerators’.

He received his PhD from Arizona State University in 1987. He is the Hightower Chair in Materials Science and Engineering and Regents' Professor Chair Emeritus at the Georgia Institute of Technology, US.^[2] In 2024, it was reported that Wang had moved to work in China full-time at the Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems. It was widely speculated that this was due to US government persecution of Chinese-American scientists through the China Initiative as well as the rise of anti-Asian attacks in the United States.^[3]
