Wenbo Zhan is a Lecturer in Biomedical Engineering in the School of Engineering. He received his undergraduate degrees from Xi’an Jiaotong University in 2008 and a master degree from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2010. He graduated from Imperial College London with his PhD degree in 2014 and then worked as a project consultant at Imperial College London and a postdoctoral research fellow at the National University of Singapore until 2016. Prior to joining the University of Aberdeen in 2019, he was a research associate at Imperial College London.
Wenbo Zhan's research centres on biological engineering and bioprocessing, with a particular focus on the biomechanics and transport processes in biological and physiological systems.
