Geoff G. Z. Zhang's research focuses on how poorly water-soluble drugs can be formulated to improve their dissolution and absorption in the body, particularly using amorphous solid dispersions (mixtures where a drug is stabilized in a non-crystalline form within a polymer matrix). Work in this area examines crystallization behavior, polymorphism (different crystal forms of the same drug), and the mechanisms by which these formulations release drug in the body, often linking laboratory dissolution tests to real-world performance. The group also explores manufacturing methods, including additive manufacturing (3D printing), for producing personalized solid dosage forms.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade without a clear steady increase, with a notable dip around 2020-2021 and 2025, followed by a rebound in 2026.
