Dr. Han Zhang is a Lecturer in Materials Science at the School of Engineering and Materials Science, Queen Mary University of London. Han is a Chartered Engineer (CEng), a Chartered Scientist (CSci), and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).

He obtained his BEng degree from Beihang University (formerly known as BUAA), and MEng degree from Queen Mary University of London. Han is the recipient of the 2010 R H Craven Award, a UK national award from the Institute of Materials, Mineral and Mining (IOM3) for the best graduate in the country with excellence in polymer materials.

His research areas mainly focus on smart multifunctional materials, hierarchical composites and nanomaterials. The multifunctionalities in polymer composites his research group have developed include strain and damage sensing, self-healing and easy repairing with preserved original properties, and self-regulating heating based on nanostructured composites for sustainable manufacturing. Han has experience from design and processing to advanced characterisations and interpretation of polymer and composite materials, with more than 40 publications in peer-reviewed journals including Advanced Functional Materials, Composites Science and Technology, Nature Communications, ACS Nano and ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. Han is also the Senior Scientist in Composites at Nanoforce Technology Limited, a spin-out company wholly owned by QMUL.
