Currently undertaking one general project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, one sub project of the National Key Research and Development Program, and multiple collaborative projects with the research Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Published over 130 academic papers. From 2021 to 2023, he is a highly cited scholar (mechanical engineering) from Elsevier China. Published two textbooks: "Aircraft Structural Mechanics" and "Variational Principles and Finite Element Method". Among them, "Aircraft Structural Mechanics" has been selected as a key textbook for universities in Jiangsu Province during the 13th Five Year Plan period. In 2018, won the first prize of the National Teaching Achievement Award (ranking fifth).

Professor Ji Wang has held the position of Qianjiang Chair Professor of Zhejiang Province at Ningbo University since 2002. From 2013 to 2019, he also served as Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies in the School of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics at Ningbo University. He is the founding director of the Piezoelectric Device Laboratory, which is recognized as a Key Laboratory by the Municipality of Ningbo. Prior to his academic career, Professor Wang worked as a senior engineer at SaRonix in Menlo Park, CA from 2001 to 2002; as a senior engineer and manager at NetFront Communications in Sunnyvale, CA from 1999 to 2001; and as a Senior Member of Technical Staff at Epson Palo Alto Laboratory in Palo Alto, CA from 1995 to 1999. Additionally, he has held visiting positions at Chiba University, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and Argonne National Laboratory. He earned his PhD and Master's degrees from Princeton University in 1996 and 1993 respectively, following his bachelor's degree from Gansu University of Technology in 1983. Professor Wang's research focuses on acoustic waves and high-frequency vibrations within elastic and piezoelectric solids for resonator design and analysis. His work includes nonlinear vibration analysis resulting in several patents registered both in the United States and China. He has authored approximately 240 journal papers and frequently delivers invited talks, keynote addresses, and plenary presentations at major international conferences. He serves on various boards as a member or advisor for leading companies within the acoustic wave device industry. Furthermore, Professor Wang is an active participant on numerous international committees including those associated with IEEE UFFC Technical Program Committees for Frequency Control Symposium & Ultrasonics Symposium; IEEE MTT-S; IEC TC-49; among others. Notably, he is also the founding chair of both CSTAM’s Committee on Mechanics of Electronic & Magnetic Devices as well as SPAWDA. From 2015 to 2020, Professor Wang was appointed editor-in-chief for Structural Longevity while contributing to editorial boards across multiple prestigious international journals.
