Katherine Yanhang Zhang
Katherine Yanhang Zhang is a Chinese and American biomechanical engineer whose research investigates the biomechanics of the cardiovascular system. She works at Boston University as a professor of mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, and materials science & engineering, and director of the Center for Multiscale & Translational Mechanobiology.[1]
Education and career
Zhang received a bachelor's degree in engineering mechanics from Tsinghua University in 1998. She completed her Ph.D. in mechanical engineering 2003 at the University of Colorado Boulder.[2]
She continued at CU Boulder as a research associate until 2005, and in 2006 joined Boston University as a Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor of mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, and materials science & engineering. She was promoted to associate professor in 2012 and full professor in 2019.[3][4]
Recognition
Zhang received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2010.[5] In 2018, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers elected her as an ASME Fellow.[6] She was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering in 2021.[7]
