Research summary
AI-generated

This publication record appears to combine two distinct researchers sharing the name Cathy Zhang: one working in monetary economics and banking, and another working in materials science and soft matter physics. The economics work examines how banks, lending relationships, and currency systems interact with monetary and fiscal policy, using theoretical models and laboratory experiments. The materials science work explores surfaces, coatings, and colloidal structures with applications ranging from medical devices to liquid-repellent materials.

Publication output rose to a peak around 2021 and has slowed somewhat in the most recent few years, though the mixed subject matter suggests this trend may reflect two separate research records rather than one continuous body of work.
