Biography

Dr. Zhang completed her BSE and BS degrees in Chemical Engineering and Financial Management in Tianjin University, 2007, and continued her passion in "Making a greener and greater world" in Auburn University, Dept. of Chemical Engineering, worked with Dr. Christopher Roberts on the project of Alternative fuel synthesis with process intensification and supercritical fluids and received her Ph.D degree in 2013, then she worked at the Biofuel and Bioenergy Center on Biomass conversion via catalytic routes at Auburn University. Dr. Zhang continued her career and research at Georgia Institute of Technology with Dr. Pamela Pollet and Dr. Charles Liotta on Flow technology and green processing with undergraduate education and research from 2018. She joined West Virginia University Institute of Technology, Department of Chemical Engineering and worked as an assistant professor 2020-2024. Dr. Zhang joined Kettering University in 2024 to pursuit her career goal in research on sustainable chemical synthesis with process optimization and educating the next generation of engineers and scientists.
