Dr. Kent Zheng
Dr. Kent Zheng, Assistant Professor in the McKetta Department of Chemical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, is making significant strides in electrochemical research and editorial leadership. Since joining UT Austin in early 2024, he has been at the forefront of developing sustainable battery technologies, focusing on lithium-free systems utilizing zinc and aluminum, and exploring iron-based materials with water-based electrolytes to promote environmental sustainability.
In addition to his research endeavors, Dr. Zheng serves as an Associate Editor for The Electrochemical Society (ECS) journal ECS Advances, where he contributes to shaping the future of electrochemical science publishing. His editorial insights and vision for the journal were recently highlighted in an interview with the ECS Advances editorial team. (https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1149/2.F05251IF) (more…)
