He has been listed on Elsevier's “High Download List” of Chinese authors' papers from 2005–2015.

Cong Wang received the Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the National University of Singapore, Singapore, in 2002. He is the director of the Shandong University Center for Intelligent Medical Engineering, Recipient of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, National “Thousand Talents Program” leading talents in scientific and technological innovation. He has been at the forefront of research machine learning and artificial intelligence for dynamical systems. He and his collaborators have introduced a novel machine learning algorithm for dynamical systems, known as Deterministic Learning (or called Dynamic Learning). This work has led to advancements in dynamical pattern recognition, small oscillation fault diagnosis, and pattern-based intelligent control. Their research has addressed critical core technologies such as the early detection of aerodynamic instability in high-performance aero engines and the early detection of myocardial ischemia/myocardial infarction.
