Biography
Prof. Zhang earned his Ph.D. and M.S. degrees at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, both in Mechanical Engineering. He obtained his B.Eng. degree in Energy and Environment System Engineering at Zhejiang University. He worked as a postdoctoral associate in Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before joining the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), the Smart Manufacturing Thrust, Systems Hub.
Prof. Zhang’s research focuses on interfacial science and engineering across multi-length scales in advanced manufacturing for unlocking nanomaterials’ properties at a macroscopic level. From the growth of high-quality 2D crystals to additive manufacturing of alloys or multi-component materials, one of the biggest common challenges in advanced manufacturing is to control the desired micro/nanostructures and functionalities while production is scaling up. His research aims to fully understand structure-property-processing relationships through interface across different length scales within the materials and achieve the manufacturing-scale synthesis of high-performance materials using advanced additive manufacturing techniques.
