(6ef) Applications of Functional Fiber-Based Materials in Energy and Engineering Fields

Authors 

Zhu, J. - Presenter, University of Virginia
Research Interests:

My research interests in various areas of materials science and engineering including but not limited to synthesis of polymers, fiber-based nanomaterials, and carbon-based materials via various spinning technologies (e.g., wet-spinning, melt-spinning, electrospinning, etc.) and casting approaches for their applications in the fields of energy, filtration, and advanced fiber composites manufacturing. The motivation behind my research stems from solutions to real-world problems.

Teaching Interests:

Passion and preparation are the key factors that I focus on in my teaching. I concentrate my efforts on developing, improving, and teaching courses related to materials and chemical engineering. In the classroom, I am driven by a passion to inspire and nurture students, and make the learning process an interactive, enjoyable, and rewarding experience for students.
