Dr. Ken Wang earned his B.Sc. in physics from National Central University, where he focused on theoretical condensed matter physics during his early research. He later pursued a Ph.D. in physics at the University of Rochester, NY, dedicating his studies to the field of photodynamic therapy. His postdoctoral training in this area continued at the University of Pennsylvania, where he also completed a residency in medical physics.

In 2012, Dr. Wang joined Johns Hopkins Hospital as a senior medical physicist and Assistant Professor. During his time at Hopkins, he contributed significantly to advancements in optical tomography-guided radiation therapy for pre-clinical research. leading to 3 NIH funding including R37 MERIT award and commercialization. In 2020, he was recruited to UT Southwestern Medical Center as a CPRIT Scholar in Cancer Research and joined the Associate Professor of the Department of Radiation Oncology. During his time in UTSW, he and his group developed the expertise in ultra-high dose rate radiation therapy, single pixel imaging, and fluorescence lifetime imaging.
