July 30, 2014. Dr. Zhang was invited to give a seminar talk on nanotechnology on water and energy sustainability at an environmental club by the name of ESI (Eco Social Initiative) founded by the local high school students of New Jersey. Besides, Dr. Zhang is hosting several local high school students in his laboratory, providing internship and research training in photocatalytic processes and algal biotechnology.
2014/12: Dr. Zhang’s group published a new paper in ES&T:
Shijian Ge, Michael Agbakpe, Zhiyi Wu, Liyuan Kuang, Wen Zhang,*, Xianqin Wang. Influences of Surface Coating, UV Irradiation and Magnetic Field on the Algae Removal Using Magnetite Nanoparticles, Environmental Science and Technology (2015), DOI: 10.1021/es5049573
