Dr. Zhe Qiang
Associate Professor
Bio
Dr. Zhe Qiang received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Polymer Engineering from the University of Akron. Prior to his current position at USM, he performed his postdoctoral training in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Northwestern University. His research interests include materials and manufacturing innovations for the development of a carbon-neutral society. His group develops commercially viable methods for converting plastic and their wastes to functional materials. His group also employs advanced characterization methods to understand polymer behaviors at nanoscale. His research work has been recognized with many awards and honors.
