Dan Zhang

This researcher works on converting plant-based materials like wood and lignin (a tough, woody plant polymer) into useful chemicals and materials, often using specialized catalysts called polyoxometalates. Related work explores recycling plastics, developing composite materials for electronics and coatings, and other applied materials science topics. The publication record suggests a broad, applied engineering focus spanning biomass conversion, polymer processing, and functional materials.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade, peaking in 2018 and 2020, dipping in 2021, then showing a modest and fairly steady output of 4-6 papers per year from 2022 to 2025.
