Professor Min Zhang

Electronic and Electrical Engineering

Personal statement

Dr Min Zhang received her PhD from the University of Cambridge in Engineering. Before that, she received Bachelor and Master degrees from Tsinghua University in Electrical Engineering. Dr Zhang spent a year as a Junior Research Fellow at Newnham College, Cambridge and then joined University of Bath as a Lecturer. She joined the University of Strathclyde as a Reader in 2018 and was promoted to Professor in 2021. Dr Zhang's research focuses on the application of high temperature superconductors in power system transmission, renewable generation and electric transportation.
