Prof. Fang completed her undergraduate studies in China in 2010 and then moved to Finland to pursue a Master’s degree in chemical engineering at Åbo Akademi. From 2014 to 2018, she conducted her doctoral studies in Material Science at Aalto University, Finland.

After completing her Ph.D., Prof. Fang spent a postdoctoral period at Freiburg University in Germany, working on the polymer-DNA gels. In 2020, she returned to Aalto University, where she was involved in the Ioncell® fiber spinning project, focusing on transitioning the technology from lab scale to pilot scale. In 2022, Wenwen Fang was appointed as a staff scientist on rheology at Aalto University.

This September, Prof. Fang began her professorship in Particle and Fiber Technology for Bio-Based Materials (PFT) at TUMCS. Her research centers on the extraction and isolation of bio-based polymers, such as cellulose and proteins, from renewable feedstocks and waste streams, with the aim of developing sustainable processes for converting these materials into high-performance fibers and functional materials.
