2016年7月1日下午3點，英國伯明翰大學（University of Birmingham，UK）中國學院常務副院長Zhibing Zhang（張志兵）教授應邀在beat365245會議室為我院師生作了題為“chemical engineering for better quality of our daily life”的學術(shù)報告，本次報告會有beat365院長褚良銀教授主持。
報告會上Zhibing Zhang教授首先介紹了化學工程學科的發(fā)展歷史，接著提出了現(xiàn)代化學工程的幾個新的方向，包括產(chǎn)品工程，系統(tǒng)分析和優(yōu)化，工業(yè)生態(tài)與共生等。隨后Zhang教授重點講解了產(chǎn)品工程中涉及高附加值化工產(chǎn)品的設計和制造，并結(jié)合自己的研究實例指出產(chǎn)品的物理結(jié)構(gòu)和功能在很大程度上決定了化工產(chǎn)品價值。Zhibing Zhang教授講解了他與寶潔公司合作研究，開發(fā)了微囊化包裹香精的洗衣液有利于提高我們的日常生活質(zhì)量，提出了該研究面臨的挑戰(zhàn)，在研究工作中逐一解決了微囊的機械強度、微囊的零泄露性能、微囊在衣服表面的吸附固定等科學問題。報告結(jié)束，Zhibing Zhang教授和現(xiàn)場師生進行了熱烈討論和交流，他耐心地回答了老師和同學們從中英化工行業(yè)的發(fā)展階段、中國化工發(fā)展現(xiàn)狀和展望、以及具有特殊結(jié)構(gòu)和功能的化工產(chǎn)品的研究和應用等方面的問題，學術(shù)氣氛十分活躍。
本次報告Zhibing Zhang教授為同學們講述了化學工程學科的歷史及演變，就消費者和工業(yè)的需求提出了對化工學科的挑戰(zhàn)和機會，報告內(nèi)容十分精彩，大家收獲頗豐。
附Zhibing Zhang（張志兵）教授簡介：
Professor Zhibing Zhang, PhD DSc FIChemE received his BEng from Hefei University of Technology in 1982, MSc and PhD from East China University of Science and Technology in 1985 and 1988 respectively, and has been working in the School of Chemical Engineering, University of Birmingham, UK since 1989. He has an outstanding international reputation for developing original work on micromanipulation studies of biological and non-biological materials and encapsulation of active ingredients for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, human care, fabric care, and agrochemical applications based on micro/bioencapsulation. He has collaborated with 40 international/national companies, and has provided technical consultancy services to 25 companies. He served as Deputy Head of the School (2007-2015), and is now Deputy Director of the China Institute (2015-), University of Birmingham.
His research has generated major impacts on industry and academia, which played a very important part in winning the Queen’s Anniversary Prize 2011 by the School, a 4 star impact case in REF (Research Excellent Framework) 2014, being Runner up of the IChemE Global Awards in the category of Innovative Products 2014, and an award of DSc (Doctor of Science) by University of Birmingham in 2016.
