Zhang Long joined the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Jiangsu University as a Jinshan Young Professor since 2020. He received his PhD degree in Chemistry in 2018 at University of Wollongong, working alongside Gordon G. Wallace and Simone Ciampi. Subsequently, he went to the University of New South Wales as the Research Associate under the supervision of Justin J. Gooding between 2018 and 2020. His excellence in academic research and commitment to make a contribution to chemical research are reflected in his outstanding track record. He has co-authored around 40 peer-reviewed publications in leading biomedical, analytical, polymer materials and surface science journals. Specifically, the laudable feat during his Ph.D. period is set to explain the role of oriented electric fields on chemical processes and the first results from this body of work have been published by the Journal of the American Chemical Society (138 (2016) 9611 and 140 (2018) 766). Moreover, he was one of four recipients of a prestigious early career researcher award from the Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering (AINSE) in 2016, and he had also been granted “the 2018 Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-Financed Students Abroad” by China Scholarship Council (500 quota per year all over the world). His main research interest is electrochemistry, surface chemistry, molecular electronics, conducting polymer, and nanomaterials.
