Dr. Le Zhang is currently a Research Fellow in Energy and Environmental Sustainability for Megacities (E2S2) Programme at National University of Singapore in Singapore. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from National University of Singapore. He has more than 8 years of related research experience in biomass energy engineering and waste management. His research involves enhanced anaerobic digestion of organic wastes (e.g. food waste, horticultural waste, animal manure, excess sludge, and algal residues) for biofuel and biochemicals production, optimization of various anaerobic digesters with organic wastes, and bioinformatic analysis of microbial community structures. He has published more than 30 peer-reviewed papers and 3 authorized patents in the fields of bioenergy and waste management. His works have been published in Bioresource Technology, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Chemical Engineering Journal, Journal of Hazardous Materials, Journal of Cleaner Production, Energy Conversion and Management, and Waste Management, etc. Some of his works were selected as "Editor's Choice Paper", "Most Downloaded Paper" and "Highly Cited Paper". Dr. Zhang is the recipient of Best Lab Demonstrator in Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at NUS (2019), Shanghai Excellent Graduates (2015), Chinese National Scholarship for Graduate Students (2014) and an industrial award from Suzhou Industrial Park (2014). He has conducted academic exchanges in more than 10 international conferences held in Spain, Greece, and Singapore, etc. He is also a Conference Organizing Committee Member in Japan (Tokyo)-SCON World Convention on Waste Recycling and Reuse, a member of Singapore BioEnergy Association, and a manuscript reviewer for over 15 international journals.
