Xiangqun Zeng
Professor
Dr. Xiangqun Zeng is a professor of Chemistry with joint appointment at Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at University of Missouri Columbia. She is also an emeritus distinguished professor of chemistry at Oakland University. Her research interest lies in materials and interface science, including electrochemistry including electroactive materials, energy storage materials, modified electrodes, electrocatalysis, analytical chemistry and chemical and biosensors, microelectrode sensors and devices for health, environment and energy applications. She has established an internationally recognized, interdisciplinary research program in chemical sensor and biosensor development for a broad range of applications including critical health care, safety, industrial hygiene, process controls, product quality controls, food safety, environmental monitoring, air quality and climate change, manufacturing, human comfort controls, emission monitoring, automotive, clinical diagnostics, home safety alarms, homeland security etc. She has received over 30 external grants as principal investigator with funding over 12 million dollars from diverse federal funding agencies including NIH, NSF, DOE, ONR and other agencies (e.g., Research corporation, ACS PRF and Alpha foundation). She held over ten patents and published over 115 high quality peer review papers and six book chapters that summarize her lab’s significant contributions to the chemical and biomedical engineering, electrochemistry and analytical chemistry fields. She is an organizer for the 18th international meeting on chemical sensors in 2021, symposium chairs for Pittcon, and an Editorial Board member of Journal of Electrochemistry and Sensors. Her lab has trained over 80 students/postdoc/visiting scholars. Eighteen of them are academic professors/scientists in US and other countries and many of them are US industry scientists and leaders. Dr. Zeng was featured in a book entitled “Women Who Changed the World the Journey and the Joy” (Sunbury Press Inc. 2015).
