Dr. Can Wang received his Ph.D. in Electromechanical Engineering from Ghent University, Belgium, in January 2025 . He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Soete Laboratory, Ghent University. His research focuses on fatigue and fracture mechanics, microstructure-sensitive modeling, and thermomechanical behavior of metallic materials. He has published over 30 SCI-indexed journal papers, including works on finite element modeling of fretting fatigue crack propagation, fatigue life prediction using neural networks, and physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) for crack growth modeling.
