About Professor Wang, Wen Chung

Professor Wang obtained a PhD degree from University of California at Berkeley in 1994. He was installed in the 2014 Class of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) Fellows. The AERA Fellows Program honors education researchers who have substantial research accomplishments, conveys the association’s commitment to excellence in research and emphasizes the importance of sustaining excellent research in the field.

In 2017, he was again elected a Fellow in the Association for Psychological Science (APS). Fellow status is awarded to APS Members* who have made sustained outstanding contributions to the science of psychology in the areas of research, teaching, service and/or application.

He received President’s Award for Outstanding Performance in Research from HKIEd (now EdUHK) in 2012 and 2016, and Research Excellence Awards from National Science Council and National Chung Cheng University, and the Mu-Dou Award(木鐸獎)for his contribution to education. He was a Fulbright grantee in 2005 and visiting professor of University of California at Berkeley in 2005 and 2007.

Professor Wang is an associate editor of Applied Psychological Measurement and British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, and an editorial board member of several journals, including Bulletin of Educational Psychology, Chinese Journal of Psychology, Educational and Psychological Measurement (2006-2010), International Journal of Testing, Journal of Computerized Adaptive Testing, Journal of Educational Measurement (2014-2016), Journal of Educational Practice and Research, and Journal of Educational Research and Development.

He has published 188 refereed journal articles and 14 book chapters, and authored or coedited 7 books. Since joining HKIEd in 2008, he has received 8 general Research Fund (GRF) grants and 1 Public Policy Research Funding (PPRF) grant as a principal investigator and several other grants as a co-investigator.
