Chongyu Zhu
Associate Professor
Master's Supervisor
Research direction:Smart Polymers for Bio-applications

Dr. Chongyu Zhu graduated from Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University with a bachelor's degree in 2013. He then studied in Department of Chemistry, University of Warwick and received his PhD in 2017. After that, he carried out postdoctoral research in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering, University of California, Berkeley. After returning to China, he worked at Fudan University and Henkel Co., Ltd., and joined the College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Donghua University in 2023. He is now working on the synthesis of polymer materials for biomedical use and "smart" functional finishing.
Research Interests:
1)Biocompatible smart materials
2)Functional finishing of medical textiles
3)Medical polymers for diagnosis and treatment
4)Polymeric drug delivery systems
