Chemical/biochemical Sensors:

Meeting Needs for the 21st Century

May 2nd | 10:00am – 11:00am  

S110 Memorial Union – The Eyler Room

Join us for "Advances in the Design of Real-time  Chemical/biochemical Sensors: Meeting Needs for the 21st Century" a keynote presentation by Dr. Xiangqun Zeng, College of Arts & Science – Chemistry, MizzouForward faculty candidate.  Dr. Zeng will present on her research for approximately 40-minutes with a 20-minute question and answer session to follow.

Xiangqun Zeng is currently a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Oakland University, Rochester, Michigan. She received her Ph.D. in electrochemistry and surface chemistry from State University of New York at Buffalo, her M.S. in Electroanalytical Chemistry from Beijing Normal University, and her B.S. in Analytical Chemistry from Sichuan University in China.

Dr. Zeng’s research interests lie at materials and interface science. Currently, her lab studies fundamental interfacial phenomena at electrode interfaces for the development of next generation   detection technologies, i.e., in vitro, ex vivo, in vivo, in situ detection and quantification of molecules and species of chemical and biological significance with high sensitivity and specificity at high temporal and/or spatial resolution for a broad range of applications including health, environment and energy applications.   She has nine patents and published over 100 high quality peer review papers and six book chapters which summarize her significant contributions to applied electrochemistry, analytical chemistry, and sensor fields.  She has mentored over 80 students/postdocs/visiting scholars including a Fulbright scholar.  Seventeen of her former trainees obtained competitive academic positions in US and other countries.  She is an organizer for the 18^th international meeting on chemical sensors in 2021 and an Editorial Board member of Journal of Electrochemistry. She has received numerous awards to recognize her work including Frank Giblin Lifetime Achievement Award (2020) that is given to the principal investigator with the most funding over the course of a faculty’s career at Oakland University.   More information can be found at her website: www.oakland.edu/~zeng
