Hi! I’m Dr. Hui Wang, and I’ve always believed in the power of ideas to change lives. My own journey began as an international student with a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Nankai University in China. I pursued and earned my Master’s degree in Economics at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. While studying Economics, I took several Information Systems courses such as programming, data structure, and data management. It was love at first logic gate. The blend of analytical thinking and innovative problem-solving fascinated me. That fascination turned into a calling, and I went on to earn my PhD in Information Systems from the University of Georgia. Along the way, I discovered what truly brings me joy: teaching, mentoring, and helping students discover what lights them up inside.
Since joining the faculty at Radford University in 2008, I’ve been proud to be part of a close-knit community that challenges minds, cultivates talents, and connects people in meaningful ways. Whether I’m in the classroom, collaborating with colleagues, or chatting with students in the hallway, I aim to make our learning environment active, inclusive, and a little unexpected (in a fun and enlightening way). I love bringing real-world context and a sense of challenge into everything I teach.
My research explores how we can apply theory to solve real organizational challenges and improve how we teach and learn in an ever-evolving technological landscape. I’m passionate about building analytical and resilient professionals ready for the dynamic global economy—and hopefully, inspiring a few future trailblazers along the way.
Looking back, I realize how profoundly the right people at the right times inspired me and influenced the turning points in my life. A love for learning, relentless curiosity, and the willingness to work hard opened doors I never imagined. Now, I hope to be that inspiration for my students—to help them find their spark and pursue it with confidence and joy. If you're up for embracing challenges, finding new possibilities, and creating a lasting legacy, then you’re in the right place. Welcome to the Radford experience. Let’s make this Highlander journey unforgettable.

B.A. in Economics, Nankai University, China
My current research focuses on data quality, particularly in the context of user-generated and crowdsourced data, as well as the evolving needs of information systems education. I investigate the challenges and opportunities in ensuring data reliability in distributed data collection models and explore pedagogical improvements to the Information Systems (IS) curriculum, including the integration of emerging competencies such as decision management. Additionally, I am actively engaged in research on process modeling, with a growing emphasis on how artificial intelligence can enhance the accuracy, flexibility, and automation of process design and execution in organizational settings.
