Professor Feng-Yuan Zhang
Professor, University of Tennessee
Dr. Feng-Yuan Zhang is a Professor and founding director of NanoHELP in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Biomedical Engineering at UT Space Institute, University of Tennessee, Knoxville. His research interests lie in green hydrogen, micro/nanotechnology, multifunctional materials, electrochemical reactions, novel electrode design, multiphase transport, advanced manufacturing, propulsion, sensors, and state-of-the-art spectroscopies and diagnostics. He has been a team leader/investigator for numerous projects on hydrogen production, oxygen generation, water electrolyzers, fuel cells, pulse detonation engines, arcjet thrusters, electrochemical reduction of CO2/N2 to high-value products, and advanced instrumentation. His group develops thin and well-tunable liquid/gas diffusion layers (LGDLs) and catalyst-coated LGDLs (CCLGDL) with desired transport, catalytical, electrical and thermal properties for simplifying electrode fabrication and reducing cost, and investigates in-situ microscale ultrafast electrochemical reactions, interfacial effects and microfluidics in electrolyzer cells. Multiple conventional parts are integrated into one multifunctional plate to reduce the weight, volume and component quantity. He has authored/co-authored 4 book chapters and over 100 other publications, and has given over 60 talks. More information can be found at http://fzhang.utsi.edu/default.htm.
