Dr Zhang is a nanotechnologist and polymer scientist, who is recognised for her research into nanomaterials characterisation including drug delivery materials, environmental aerosols, and polymeric materials. Despite the broad scope of her research, the main objectives are designing, preparing and characterising polymer-based materials, which adapt to the demands of different fundamental and applied purposes.
Dr Zhang has rich experience in working on academia-industry collaborative projects, such as the development of carbon fiber-based polymeric composites with strong interfacial bonding for aircraft industry application, the development of advanced photoinitiating systems for dental materials, the depolymerisation and recycling of...

About me
Dr Zhang is a nanotechnologist and polymer scientist, who is recognised for her research into nanomaterials characterisation including drug delivery materials, environmental aerosols, and polymeric materials. Despite the broad scope of her research, the main objectives are designing, preparing and characterising polymer-based materials, which adapt to the demands of different fundamental and applied purposes.
Dr Zhang has rich experience in working on academia-industry collaborative projects, such as the development of carbon fiber-based polymeric composites with strong interfacial bonding for aircraft industry application, the development of advanced photoinitiating systems for dental materials, the depolymerisation and recycling of superabsorbent polymer materials. Dr Zhang’s collaborative work with CSIRO on microplastics captured some headlines on CNN, the Conversation, the Guardian, and the New York Times. It was also featured by the Australian Science Media Centre as one of the top ten stories for 2020.
