Yu-Hsuan "Jade" Wang

Position title: TA: Hist Sci 150 with Professor Devin Kennedy

Biography

I am interested in the contemporary history of the scientific instrument in East Asia. My research focuses on how mass spectrometry, a trace analysis technique in monitoring environmental pollutants, moves from the U.S. to East Asia and from scientific laboratories to industrial factories, subsequently shaping the ideas of environmental health in Cold War period Taiwan. Before entering UW-Madison, I held a master’s degree in geography with three-year research training in science and technology studies at National Taiwan University.
