Nanotechnology for Bioengineers

Wujie Zhang, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the Biomolecular Engineering Program at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE). He received a Ph.D. degree in biomedical engineering from the University of South Carolina and M.S. and B.S. degrees in food science and engineering from the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology. Dr. Zhang’s scholarly work and research span biomaterials, micro/nanotechnology, cellular and tissue engineering, drug delivery, and cancer treatment. He has been teaching the Molecular Nanotechnology course for the past eight years. His current nanotechnology research projects include biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles, electro-spun nanofibers, and nanomedicine. Dr. Zhang has received numerous teaching and research awards, including ASEE Prism magazine’s “20 under 40” (2018).
