Recently, the European Academy of Sciences (EurASc) officially announced the results of its 2024 election of new members, with Professor De-Yi Wang being elected as a Fellow of the European Academy of Sciences due to his remarkable contributions to the fields of fire-safe engineering and functional materials.

The European Academy of Sciences is a non-profit non-governmental, fully independent organization of the most distinguished scholars and engineers performing forefront research and the development of advanced technologies, united by a commitment to promoting science and technology and their essential roles in fostering social and economic development.The official name of the institution is European Academy of Sciences (Académie Européenne des Sciences). It is registered and operates under rules and regulations of the Kingdom of Belgium (law 27.06.1921 ultimately revised in 2003). The European Academy of Sciences was recognized by Royal Decree of December 17, 2003, issued by Albert II, the King of Belgium. One of the most important objectives of the Academy is the promotion of fundamental research and excellence in science and technology.

The European Academy of Sciences comprises nine divisions: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Medicine and Life Sciences, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Computing and Information Sciences, Engineering, Materials Science, and Social and Human Sciences. As of 2024, the Academy has inducted over 800 distinguished scholars from more than 50 countries as Fellows, including 46 Nobel Laureates and 17 Fields Medalists. This makes the European Academy of Sciences one of the global academies with the highest proportion of Nobel Laureates among its members.

Professor De-Yi Wang received his PhD degree in Polymer Physics and Chemistry from Sichuan University, China in 2007. He currently is Research Professor and the Head of Novel Materials Division of IMDEA Materials Institute, and a Professor at Francisco de Vitoria University in Madrid. He created and directed the research line on high performance polymer nanocomposites at IMDEA Material Institute in 2012, since he moved to Madrid from Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research in Dresden in Germany. His main research interests focus on fire-safe engineering, flame-retardant materials, polymer engineering and sustainable materials, etc. He is among the pioneers in developing flame retardant nanoengineering technology to polymeric materials and in devising fire-safe engineering strategies for lithium-ion batteries and energy storage materials.

He has authored or co-authored over 340 peer-reviewed scientific articles, which received >18,000 citations (Google Scholar), and 6 books and chapters, and delivered more than 100 invited lectures and presentations. To date, he has coordinated over 30 research projects funded by the European Commission, international public entities, national and industrial sectors, etc. He is Guest/Adjunct Professor in several Universities in Spain, Switzerland and China. Moreover, he plays important advisory roles in international organizations, international conference committees and editorial responsibilities in journals in the field of materials science and engineering, such as Polymer Degradation and Stability, Composites Communications, Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, Advanced Nanocomposites, etc.

He was appointed as the Academic Consultant by United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). In 2016, he was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. He is the President of Association of China-Spain Science and Technology. In 2024, he is elected Member of the European Academy of Sciences.
