Dr Bin Zhang
Lecturer in Additive Manufacturing

Summary

Dr Bin Zhang is a Lecturer in Additive Manufacturing in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Brunel University London. She obtained her PhD in Bioengineering from University College London. Before joining Brunel, she held research positions in the UK and US in biomedical and pharmaceutical additive manufacturing.

Her research focuses on the design and manufacture of additively manufactured systems for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. A particular interest is understanding how material formulation, manufacturing processes and engineered architectures influence mass transport, mechanical behaviour and biological performance.

Her work spans pharmaceutical 3D printing and drug delivery, biomaterials and tissue engineering, biofabrication and in vitro models. She combines experimental manufacturing and characterisation with computational modelling to investigate structure-property-function relationships and to develop functional tissue platforms, drug-delivery systems and medical devices.

She welcomes interdisciplinary collaborations across additive manufacturing, biomaterials, pharmaceutical sciences and biomedical engineering.

Qualifications

PhD, University College London, UK.

MSc, University College London, UK.
