Jing Wang, PhD, RN, FAAN, is an Assistant Professor at the University of New Hampshire’s School of Nursing. As a leading nursing scientist, her research focuses on long-term care, healthy aging, and person-centered dementia care, with an emphasis on global, transdisciplinary, and cross-cultural collaboration to improve the well-being of older adults and their caregivers. Her work has received funding from the NIH, and she was selected as a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing in 2022 in recognition of her active leadership in research and service.

 

Dr. Wang’s interdisciplinary and international training in nursing and global health at Fudan University, Duke University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has prepared her to lead qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies. Her contributions have advanced care quality, health equity, and caregiver support for persons living with dementia.
