​Nov.2024: Two doctoral students delivered talks at the 12th U.S. symposium on Harmful Algae




Nov.2024:  Dr. Zhang’s team attended the 13th SNO Conference in Providence, Rhode Island

2014/10: Our lab synthesized magnetic NPs that are attracted by permanent magnet. The magnetic NPs can be used to remove or harvest algae, remove bacteria and other water contaminants.

2014    Michael Agbakpe (PhD student advised by Dr. Zhang) won the first place in the 2014 Dana Knox Student Research Showcase
