Research summary
AI-generated

This publication record appears to combine work from multiple distinct research areas—including thermoelectric and high-entropy alloys, organic solar cells, composite materials, metasurfaces, catalysis, and even education technology—suggesting the name 'Di Zhang' may correspond to several different researchers or a very broad collaborative network rather than one narrowly focused lab. Because of this, prospective students should treat the listed topics as reflecting a wide, loosely connected set of materials science and applied physics projects rather than a single coherent research program. The data suggests strong activity in metals, alloys, and functional materials, often involving experimental synthesis, characterization, and some computational or machine-learning-assisted design.
