C. Y. Wang is a professor in the Department of Mathematics with an adjunct position in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. He obtained his BS from Taiwan University and his PhD from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Prof. Wang has published about 214 papers in solid mechanics (elastica, torsion, buckling, and vibrations of structural members), 206 papers in fluid mechanics (exact Navier-Stokes solutions, Stokes flow, and unsteady viscous flow), and 178 papers in other areas (biological, thermal, and electromechanics). Prof. Wang wrote the monograph Perturbation Methods (Taiwan University Press) and is a coauthor of Exact Solutions for Buckling of Structural Members, Structural Vibration (CRC Press). He also wrote Essential Perturbation Methods, Essential Analytic Laminar Flow, and Essential Analytic Heat Transfer (Springer). He has served as a technical editor for Applied Mechanics Reviews.
