Israel-Asia Center

Howe Wang is an environmental management master's candidate at Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies and is currently a Yale University Fox International Fellow to Tel Aviv University. Howe Wang has a bachelor’s degree in biotechnology.

With an ambition to become an environmental reformer through environmental technology advancement, his goal in participating in the Israel-Asia Leaders Fellowship is to further research collaborative opportunities in the intersection of environment and economics between Israel, China and international community.

His diverse research and experiences in finance, investigative reporting (at The New Yorker magazine) and the non-profit sector across different countries equip him with a global mind-set and a grand vision of green technology and energy policy.

During his year in Israel, he plans to acquire a deeper insight into this field by researching and working with cleantech entrepreneurs, scholars, regulators, venture capitalists, foreign investors, Chinese diplomats and officials across Israel.

Having traveled to more than 30 countries, Howe’s fondness of Israel extends beyond just academia - his family’s influence also plays an important role. Howe’s father was among the first scholars who wrote on the potential introduction of Israeli agricultural technology to China. As a result, at a very young age, he was exposed to Israeli diplomacy and Sino-Israeli intellectual exchange.

In China, Howe was an active participant of Moishe House in Beijing and was involved in the organization’s social outreach activities to engage communication between the local Israeli/Jewish population and Chinese society. During his study in Yale, he is also involved with the Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale University and Yale Friends of Israel.
