Biography
Lei Zhang is an assistant professor belongs to the department of Geophysical Institute from the university of Alaska Fairbanks.
Research Interest
Dr. Zhang’s current research interests include design and investigation of the properties of porous materials and nanostructure-based films for energy and environmental applications. Her research mainly focuses on the synthesis of novel organic-inorganic hybrid materials, and the manipulation of their properties and applications in gas storage, with a current emphasis on gas storage (CO2) in metal-organic frameworks (MOF). She is also interested in the generation of multifunctional films and developing their applications in separation and energy conversation.
