Gaixia Zhang holds the Marcelle-Gauvreau Research Chair in Engineering at the École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS), Montreal, Canada. She received her Ph.D. from Polytechnique Montréal and then continued her research at Western University and INRS, Canada. His research interests focus on advanced materials (catalysts, electrodes, and electrolytes) for sustainable energy devices and systems, including batteries, fuel cells, green hydrogen production, and_CO2 reduction. She is also interested in interface and device engineering, as well as in-situ characterizations and theoretical simulations. She has published over 150 peer-reviewed articles in leading journals, including Nature Sustainability, Energy Environmental Science, Advanced Materials, Advanced Energy Materials, Angew. Chim. Int. Ed., ACS Energy Letters, and more. She is the author of 10 book chapters and holds 4 U.S. patents (along with industry) related to batteries and fuel cells. She is among the top 2% of scientists in the world.
