Associate Professor

biography

Dr. Weifeng Zhao born in 1987 in China, he received his Bachelor Degree in Polymeric Materials & Engineering in Sichuan University (2005-2009), and then continued his Doctoral study in Biomedical Engineering in the same university (2009-2014). During the doctoral study, he was financially supported by Chinese Schlorship Council (CSC) for study in Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden. After completing three years studies in KTH, he got his another doctoral degree in Polymer Technology. He has more than 40 journal publications in the famous journals in both Polymer Science and Materials Engineering fields. Now he is anounced by Sichuan University as an Associate Professor.
