主讲人简介：
Guoping Zhang is currently a professor in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He obtained a PhD in Geotechnical Engineering with a minor degree in Materials Science and Engineering from MIT in 2002. His research is centered on clay-based and clay-derived materials, including clay minerals, clay-biopolymer aggregates and flocs, shales, geopolymers, and superhydrophobic materials, as well as their property (mainly mechanical) characterization and applications, with funding from a varietyof federal, state, and industrial sponsors.
