Dihao Wang studies the ultrafast physical and chemical processes underlying photosynthetic light harvesting, using spectroscopy to examine how light-sensing and light-harvesting proteins (such as those from purple bacteria, cyanobacteria, and marine organisms) capture and transfer light energy. The work combines biophysics, spectroscopy, and molecular biology to understand how pigment-protein complexes absorb light, transfer energy, and respond to changing light conditions. A few recent publications outside this core area suggest occasional involvement in EEG-based and physiological signal analysis projects.

Publication output was sparse and irregular earlier in the decade but has increased notably since 2023, with the highest yearly counts occurring in 2025 and 2026.
