Assistant Professor
Florida State University

At the Zeng Research Lab, we are exploring and advancing clean energy solutions through the synergistic integration of robotics, AI, advanced materials, and green chemical processes. Our interdisciplinary approach combines robotic tools, materials synthesis techniques, characterizations (chemical, structural, electrochemical), and advanced modeling methods (chemical thermodynamics, machine learning). We strive to design and develop novel materials with outstanding electrochemical and catalytical performance, targeting energy technologies such as batteries, fuel cells, and more. Furthermore, our research extends to the development of sustainable chemical processes that enable the extraction of critical metals from both natural and recycling resources. Join us in shaping a greener and sustainable future by exploring innovative solutions for clean energy.
