Biography
Zhang Qi received B.Eng. degree in Chemical Engineering from Sun Yat-sen University in 2007, then he went to the Institute of Polymerization and Polymer Engineering in Zhejiang University for graduate study, and obtained his Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering in 2012. After graduation, he first worked in GE Global Research Center (Shanghai) as a research scientist, then moved to McMaster University, working as a Postdoc in Prof. Shiping Zhu’s group. He joined Zhejiang University of Technology as an Associate Prof. in Nov. 2015. Since Mar. 2018, Qi has become an Assistant Prof. in School of Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. Dr. Qi Zhang’s research interests are in the areas of stimuli-responsive smart materials, polymerization reaction engineering, colloid and interfaces. He has published more than 30 papers (mostly on ACS Macro Letters, Macromolecules, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Langmuir), received more than 600 citations, with an average impact factor higher than 5. He also has 1 authorized PCT and 2 Chinese patents.
