Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Ling Zhang's research spans diverse areas, including the psychosocial well-being of vulnerable populations, environmental remediation, and plant biology. Zhang has investigated the self-esteem, social support, and coping mechanisms of left-behind children in rural China, examining the intermediary role of subjective support.
Further research includes the development of a two-sided matching model for assigning volunteer teams to relief tasks when information is limited. Zhang has also explored the dual effects of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria on Moso bamboo-soil systems, focusing on plant growth promotion and microbial community stability. Additionally, Zhang has contributed to the field of phytoremediation through a meta-analysis on antibiotic removal from aqueous solutions and has studied the hydrodynamics and dissolved organic matter components influencing heavy metal fate in anthropogenically disturbed estuaries.
Molecular and evolutionary biology research includes the ectopic expression of specific genes in *Torenia fournieri* and their effects on *Arabidopsis thaliana* phenotypes. Zhang has also contributed to optimization algorithms with work on evolutionary multimodal multiobjective optimization guided by growing neural gas. Recent work has also examined the association between greenness, its composition, and allergic rhinitis in preschool children.
