Summary
Bernard Wang is a climate-tech oriented chem-engineering researcher and engineer focused on electrochemical energy systems and the green transition. He holds a BS in Earth and Environmental Engineering from Columbia and an MS in Chemical Engineering Product Development from UC Berkeley, blending environmental science with practical device development. Currently an Associate Research Engineer at Elementium Materials, he advances catalyst inks, membrane-electrode assemblies, and multi-channel electrochemical testing for sustainable energy applications, building on hands-on experience from Berkeley's Boettcher Lab and Columbia Electrochemical Engineering Center. His prior work spans membrane processes and recycling-focused separations, Antarctic sea-ice forecasting code modernization, and science communication as a senior staff writer, underscoring his ability to connect rigorous research with broader audiences. Based in New York, he aims to accelerate scalable, emissions-free technologies that support a circular economy. A notable strength is translating lab-scale insights into deployable electrochemical solutions, bridging materials, chemistry, and systems-level thinking.
