Ming Zhang studies chemistry and received her PhD in Polymer Physics and Chemistry in 2004 from Jilin University with Prof. Yuguang Ma. After an “Alexander von Humboldt” postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Klaus Müllen in Max Planck institute for polymer research, she joined the state key laboratory of supramolecular structure and materials for organic optoelectronic functional materials research in July 2007.. Some results are published in “Journal of the American Chemistry Society”, “Chemical Communication”, “Journal of the Materials Chemistry” and do on. Till now her publications are more than 50, and the cited times are more than 400.

Ming Zhang, the main focus of her research is the design, synthesis, characterization and application of novel optoelectronic functional materials, as well as the sensing properties of these materials.
