Biography

Tao Wang received his Bachelor in Physics from Northwest University in 2019. He then pursued his doctoral studies at Nankai University and obtained his Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics in 2024. In August 2026, he joined the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies of Westlake University as a postdoctoral researcher. During his Ph.D. studies, his research primarily focused on black hole thermodynamics and relativistic stochastic thermodynamics. He advanced an extended thermodynamic description of black holes with a varying gravitational constant, and established a covariant description of Brownian particles in a relativistic spacetime background. Currently, his research interests include further developing the fundamental theory of non‑equilibrium statistical physics and attempting to build connections between non‑equilibrium statistical physics and other branches of physics. In his spare time, he enjoys playing football and reading history books.
