PhD (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore)
Short Description
Dr Xiao Zhang received his B. E. in Chemical Engineering and Technology, and M.E. in Applied Chemistry, from Harbin Engineering University in 2010 and 2012, respectively. He got his PhD degree from Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) in 2017, and continued his research in the same group as a Research Fellow for two years. Prior to joining the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, he was a Rice Academy Junior Fellow at Rice University (US). He was awarded the 2020 Fondazione Oronzio e Niccolò De Nora Fellowship and listed as a “Highly Cited Researcher” (top 1%; by Clarivate Analytics) in 2020.
