Dr. Bin Zhang is a Professor in the School of Food Science and Engineering at South China University of Technology (SCUT), China. Before joining SCUT in 2016, he was trained in food nutrition (PhD) at the University of Queensland, and worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at Purdue University and Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He was awarded as National Young Talent Scholar and Hong Kong Scholar. His current research directions are: 1. Carbohydrate chemistry, including the structural and functional properties of food carbohydrates, such as starch, human milk oligosaccharides, dietary fibers; 2. Carbohydrate nutrition, mainly involving the carbohydrate intervention on health/disease in vitro and in vivo models via gut-X axis; 3. Maternal and infant microbial ecology, including evaluation and regulation of infant-microbial-ecology related health function, and the design of infant formula. He published more than 160 peer-reviewed papers with over 8000 citations (H index=55), including Carbohydrate Polymers, Chemical Engineering Journal, Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Biomacromolecules . He currently serves on the editorial board of Carbohydrate Polymers , iMeta and Foods , and the co-chair of the Carbohydrate Working Group of INFOGEST. See less
