Dr. Shule Wang is a researcher dedicated to unlocking sustainable pathways for biomass products, reducing waste, and enabling biomass to replace fossil resources across industries to lower carbon emissions. His work integrates lifecycle assessment, techno-economic analysis, machine learning, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to uncover innovative applications for biochar and other biomass-derived products, spanning sectors from transportation, chemical engineering and energy storage to metallurgy. 

Shule holds a Bachelor’s degree in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of Science & Technology Beijing and completed his Master’s in Materials Science and Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. His Ph.D. at KTH advanced from experimental biomass research to lifecycle and techno-economic analyses, incorporating machine learning to deepen insights into biomass valorization. At Nanjing Forestry University, he continued this work as a lecturer and assistant professor, applying machine learning to biochar, hard carbon, activated carbon, and hydrochar.

Now as a researcher at UC Berkeley’s Carbon Removal Lab, Shule integrates his expertise with GIS to support the USFS and develop biomass-based solutions for sustainable industry practices.
