Michael Wang is the manager of the Systems Assessment Section at Argonne National Laboratory’s Center for Transportation Research. His research areas include evaluation of energy and environmental impacts of advanced vehicle technologies and new transportation fuels, assessment of market potentials of new vehicle and fuel technologies, and projection of transportation development in emerging economies. Dr. Wang has been responsible for developing Argonne’s GREET (Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation) software model for the well-to-wheels analysis of vehicle/fuel systems, which he and his team have used to conduct lifecycle analyses of advanced vehicle technologies and new transportation fuels for the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the State of Illinois, and General Motors Corporation. The GREET model currently has more than 7,500 registered users worldwide. Dr. Wang has published extensively on the topic of lifecycle analysis of vehicle/fuel systems, especially biofuels, and has authored more than 140 publications and made over 100 invited technical presentations. He has a Ph.D. in Environmental Science from the University of California at Davis.
