Mae gan Dr Zhongian hanes llwyddiannus o ddatblygu technolegau prototeip newydd, yn enwedig o ran monitro a thrin dŵr.

Ariannwyd ei brosiect PhD, ’New nanocomposite of porous materials and visible light sensitive catalysts for efficient wastewater purification’ gan Brosiect Cyswllt Cyngor Ymchwil Awstralia (ARC) (Rhif LP0989240, 2008-2011). I gydnabod ei ymchwil PhD, derbyniodd nifer o wobrau uchel eu bri, gan gynnwys 'Gwobr Llywodraeth Tsieina i Fyfyrwyr Eithriadol sy’n Astudio Dramor' (2009) a gwobr deithio yr ‘International Humic Substance Society’ (IHSS) (2010).

Rhwng 2011 a 2014, datblygodd dechnoleg newydd dadïoneiddio cynhwysaidd (CDI) ar gyfer dihalwyno dŵr lled hallt mewndirol, wedi’i ariannu gan y Ganolfan Ragoriaeth Genedlaethol mewn Dihalwyno, Awstralia (NCEDA). Cynhaliwyd y prosiect ar y cyd â phartneriaid y diwydiant, 'Power and Water Corporation' yng Nhiriogaeth y Gogledd, ac 'SA Water' yn Ne Awstralia (gyda chyllideb o £300,000).

Cafodd effaith ei waith ar economeg-gymdeithasol Awstralia ei chynnwys fel erthygl glawr gyda'r teitl ‘CDI can supply remote places’ yn Desalination & Water Reuse,, Cyfrol 22, Rhifyn 2. Er mwyn dangos tystiolaeth bellach o'r cyfraniad hwn, enillodd Wobr Ymchwil Dŵr Ôl-raddedig Cymdeithas Dŵr Awstralia (AWA) hefyd, gwobr hynod gystadleuol, yn 2013 (dim ond 1 y flwyddyn yn Awstralia).

Yn 2014, dyfarnwyd Cymrodoriaeth Ymchwil Endeavour Awstralia iddo i weithio ym Mhrifysgol Cincinnati a'r Labordy Ymchwil Rheoli Risg Cenedlaethol, Asiantaeth Diogelu'r Amgylchedd yr Unol Daleithiau (U.S. EPA). Rhwng 2015 a 2017, fe'i dewiswyd gan Academi Wyddoniaeth Awstralia fel Cymrawd Tramor Cymdeithas Hyrwyddo Gwyddoniaeth Japan (JSPS) (10 y flwyddyn yn Awstralia) i weithio ym Mhrifysgol Tokyo, Japan.

Ers 2016, mae Dr Zhang wedi bod ar flaen y gad o ran datblygu synwyryddion electrocemegol gan ddefnyddio gwahanol fathau o nanoddeunyddiau ar gyfer monitro dŵr amgylcheddol, gan gynnwys metelau trwm (h.y. plwm a chadmiwm), sgil-gynhyrchion diheintio a thocsinau algaidd.

EG-101 Chemical Engineering Laboratory

This module provides practical experience of conducting bench-scale experimental studies on a variety of systems (comprised of both apparatus and contents) in order to observe, record and characterise the behaviour of these systems under specified conditions. Students are typically required to determine factors which may influence a system¿s overall response, for example, experimental results can be linked with theory (from lecture-based modules or equivalently from directed reading) to determine physical or thermochemical properties of materials, or, to evaluate how such properties influence the performance of the system. Wider analysis aims to link and develop skills in data acquisition and processing, error analysis, and interpretation of experimental results. As a component part of these studies, students will build experience of conducting experiments in a laboratory environment, documenting results, organisation and communication of experimental results and analysis through both tabular and graphical formats accompanied by written discussion; this being evidenced first through maintenance of their own laboratory notebooks and secondly through technical report writing exercises.
EG-133 Engineering for People Hackathon

Engineering is more than understanding technical design, it is often the social, environmental and economic context underpinning engineering solutions that determine success or failure, This has never been more relevant since the world is currently planning a radical transition to a low carbon economy while facing increased risks due to climate crisis which will bring with it unprecedented change to the world. Engineers will be at the forefront of this, and need to be equipped to tackle open-ended, unstructured and complex problems in collaboration with others. The module will allow students to explore these issues within their chosen discipline with the following structure: Each week there will be one or two 1-hour lectures, introducing engineering thinking and contemporary issues in global engineering design. Most activity will then take place in group-work sessions (2 hours per week), where groups of around 6 students will work in a facilitated way to identify and investigate a societal challenge (e.g. access to water / off-grid energy / sustainable transport) and then consider how Engineering design solutions could help to solve this.
EGA114 Chemical Engineering Science

This module will introduce fundamental principles of thermodynamics, physical chemistry and mass transfer relevant to the course including: gas behaviour; properties of pure substances and mixtures; laws of thermodynamics and their applications to energy and state calculations; phase equilibria; diffusive and convective mass transfer; and mass transfer coefficients.
EGCM36 Desalination Technology

Desalination is an important process in the management of water resources and it has a large societal, economic and environmental impact. This module will give engineering students a solid grounding in desalination and related separation processes. This will prove invaluable for a future career in many areas of engineering.
