Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Diandian Zhang's research focuses on the development and characterization of advanced semiconductor materials and devices, with a particular emphasis on photodetectors and thermoelectric applications. Recent work includes the design of bio-inspired core-shell structural aerogels for solar thermoelectricity-freshwater cogeneration and the creation of Sn content gradient GeSn with strain control for high-performance mid-infrared photodetectors. Zhang has also investigated lubricant-grafted omniphobic surfaces for anti-biofouling and drag-reduction properties, as well as high-speed and high-power germanium photodetectors utilizing trapezoidal absorbers. Further studies explore controllable multimodal actuation in printed electrochemical actuators and the growth of strained GeSn/Ge multiple quantum well structures. Zhang has a publication record of 40 articles, with 310 citations, and an h-index of 10. Key collaborators include Nirosh M. Eldose, Wei Du, Hryhorii Stanchu, and Shui-Qing Yu, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
