As a Certified Reliability Engineering certified by American Society for Quality, Dr. Wang has authored/coauthored numerous books and papers on reliability engineering, risk engineering, engineering decision making under uncertainty, robust design and Six Sigma, lean manufacturing, and green electronics manufacturing. He has been affiliated with Austrian Aerospace Agency/European Space Agency, Vienna University of Technology, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland, and Tsinghua University in China. Having presented various professional short courses and seminars, Dr. Wang has performed joint research with the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and the Norwegian Institute of Technology. Since "knowledge, expertise, and scientific results are well known internationally," Dr. Wang has been invited to present at various national & international engineering events. As a highly accomplished inventor of various industrial designs and patent applications, Dr. Wang serves as an Editor at Nano Research and Applications and is a member of BAOJ Nanotechnology Editorial Board. Dr. John X. Wang, a CRC Press Featured Author, has been a Top Contributor of LinkedIn's Poetry Editors & Poets group. Dr. Wang has contributed to the discussions including:

• Writing a sonnet is notoriously difficult due to the strict pentameter and rhyming pattern; does anyone prefer/enjoy writing this form of poetry?
• Do you proceed by images or by words when you write?
