Summary

 

Summary

Dr. Dongda Zhang is a University Lecturer at the School of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science at the University of Manchester and a Honorary Research Fellow at the Centre for Process Systems Engineering at Imperial College London. He is currently the IChemE Representative of the University of Manchester.

He holds a BSc degree (2011) from Tianjin University and a MSc (Distinction) degree (2013) from Imperial College London. He started his PhD research at the University of Cambridge in 2013, completed his research within 2 years alongside over 10 original publications in leading chemical engineering and biotechnology journals, and graduated at the beginning of the third year after the university approval for thesis early submission. Upon the completion of his PhD in 2016, he was invited by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and several universities for short research visits, and then moved to the Centre for Process Systems Engineering at Imperial College London as a postdoctoral research associate. In 2017, he was awarded the prestigious Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship at the University of Cambridge, followed by his appointment at the University of Manchester as a University Lecturer in the same year.
