Xun-Li Wang, a member of the Neutron Scattering Science Division, serves as the lead instrument scientist for VULCAN, a state-of-the-art engineering diffractometer at SNS. Wang also serves as group leader for the Powder Diffraction Instrument Group. Wang was cited by the APS for his sustained contributions in neutron diffraction studies and his leadership in the design and construction of a versatile engineering diffractometer at the Spallation Neutron Source.

Wang arrived at ORNL in 1992 and joined SNS in 1999. He received his doctorate from Iowa State University and his undergraduate degree from Beijing University, both in physics.
