OverviewAI-generated summary

Ling Zhang's research interests span multiple disciplines, including environmental science, public health, and evolutionary biology. Zhang has investigated the fate of dissolved heavy metals in anthropogenically disturbed estuaries, examining hydrodynamics and dissolved organic matter components. In the realm of public health, Zhang has explored the association between environmental factors and health outcomes, such as the relationship between "greenness" and allergic rhinitis in preschool children. This work also touches on psychosocial factors, as evidenced by research on self-esteem, social support, and coping strategies among left-behind children in rural China.

Further research includes the application of phytoremediation for antibiotic removal from aqueous solutions, analyzed through a meta-analysis. Zhang has also contributed to plant science by studying the ectopic expression of specific genes in *Arabidopsis thaliana* and their effects on plant phenotypes. Additionally, Zhang has explored computational methods, including evolutionary multimodal multiobjective optimization guided by growing neural gas, and has worked on models for assigning volunteer teams to relief tasks.
