Xin Zhang [1] is a Distinguished Professor of Engineering at Boston University (BU).

Education

Dr. Zhang obtained her Ph.D. from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). She subsequently served as a postdoctoral researcher and research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Career

Dr. Zhang joined the faculty of Boston University in 2002 and currently holds the esteemed title of Distinguished Professor of Engineering. Her appointment spans across the Departments of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Materials Science & Engineering.

Current research

Dr. Zhang directs the Laboratory for Microsystems Technology (LMST) [2] at Boston University, which specializes in metamaterials and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS or microsystems). Her recent research endeavors in metamaterials have captured widespread global attention. Her pioneering work encompasses the creation of metamaterials tailored for highly efficient air-permeable sound silencing and noise reduction,[3] alongside innovations that notably enhance MRI signal-to-noise ratio, thereby revolutionizing MRI performance.[4] These groundbreaking achievements have resonated across hundreds of media outlets,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] eliciting profound interest from both the scientific community and industry leaders.

Professional memberships

Honors, awards and special recognitions

Education and outreach

Dr. Zhang serves as the Director for both the National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site [47] and Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site [48] in Integrated Nanomanufacturing at Boston University. Additionally, she holds the role of Associate Director at the Boston University Nanotechnology Innovation Center.[49]
