Summary
Dr Bin Zhang is a Lecturer in Additive Manufacturing in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. She obtained her PhD from University College London, where she focused on additive manufacturing, specifically the 3D printing of drug-loaded biocomposite bone tissue scaffolds. Dr Zhang was also a visiting scholar in the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State University in the USA, where she worked on patterned surfaces with controllable drug doses using inkjet 3D printing and the fabrication of microneedle sensors using stereolithography 3D printing. Prior to joining Brunel University London, she had worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Pharmacy, University of East Anglia, and the Department of Engineering and Technology, University of Hertfordshire. Her research focuses on the 3D printing of micro medical devices, the development of drug-loaded devices using extrusion-based 3D printing methods, and the creation of medical training models using 3D printing techniques.
