Liqun Zhang
Liqun Zhang is the president of South China University of Technology.[1]
Education[edit]
Zhang obtained his BS (1990), MS (1992) and PhD (1995) degrees from Beijing University of Chemical Technology. He was a visiting scholar at the University of Akron from 1990 to 2000. He held a postdoctoral position at Case Western Reserve University from 2000 to 2001.[2]
Career[edit]
Zhang has been a professor at the College of Materials Science and Engineering (CMSE) at BUCT since 1995, and College Dean since 2016.
He accepted a position as president of SCUT in 2021. During his tenure, the university has established partnerships with BASF,[3] with NTU Singapore,[4] with Mahidol University.[5]
Zhang is a member of the editorial board of the scientific journal Nano-Structures and Nano-Objects.[6]
His most cited work concerns the application of a Halloysite clay nanotube to achieve a delayed release of antioxidants in a rubber compound, thus achieving an enhancement to anti-ageing properties.[7]
