Research Associate
Zhen Xu now is a Research Associate in Dr. Alexander Forse's group at University of Cambridge, focusing on the development of Electrochemical Carbon Dioxide Capture.
He obtained PhD in Chemical Engineering from Imperial College London (2022), where he explored Nature-Inspired Carbon Materials for Sodium-Based Energy Storage under the supervision of Prof. Magda Titirici. Before starting his PhD studies, he received BEng in Polymer Materials and Engineering from Donghua University (2017). He studied Electrospun Polyindole Nanofibers for All-Solid-State Flexible Supercapacitors at State Key Laboratory for Modification of Chemical Fibers and Polymer Materials (SKLFPM) supervised by Dr. Shengyuan Yang and Prof. Meifang Zhu.
