Hui Zhang received a doctorate in Physical Chemistry from the State Key Laboratory of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry of Jilin University. She is currently a professor of Physical Chemistry at the School of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering, Key Laboratory of Engineering Dielectrics and Its Application, Harbin University of Science and Technology. Her research focused on the basic theory of quantum chemistry and application, such as the mechanism of radical reaction and the catalytic reaction mechanism of enzymes. She investigated the reaction mechanisms and by-products forming and evolution process in high voltage insulation at the atomic and molecular levels.
