Dr. Shengmiao Zhang received a B.Eng. (2001), a M.Eng. (2006), and a D. Eng. (2009) in Polymer Science and Engineering at the East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST) under the guidance of Prof. Jianding Chen. After a postdoc with Prof. Mohamed Taha at Université Jean Monnet in France, he came back to ECUST to be a PI. During his work at ECUST, he spent a year (from 2014 to 2015) as a visiting scholar at the University of Toronto, working with Prof. Mitch. A. Winnik. He is presently investigating novel emulsion-templated polymers, high-internal-phase emulsions, and functional polymeric particles. So far, he has published more than 70 peer-reviewed articles in reputable journals, including ACS Macro Lett., Macromolecules, Chem. Commun., Langmuir, Polymer, React. Chem. Eng., and J. Mater. Chem. A. He holds over 40 Chinese patents, and some of the patents have been industrialized.
