Senior🎓
Top SchoolDonghui Zhao is an applied materials scientist and engineering leader with 13 years of experience translating data-driven models into commercial materials and manufacturing outcomes. Currently Associate Professor and Director of Glass Research and Workforce Development, he has led productization from lab to plant—commercializing silicon-carbon composite anodes and multiple low-biopersistence high-temperature fibers—and holds numerous patents and publications. He combines deep domain expertise in glass and fiber materials with advanced skills in mathematics, numerical analysis, high-performance computing and code-driven data pipelines (Python/Octave, SQL, MPI/OpenMP) to accelerate discovery via DOE and statistical modeling. Donghui has repeatedly improved production rates and product quality through process modeling, CAPEX management and cross-functional commercialization, and he built centralized databases and tens of thousands of lines of analysis code to streamline materials-to-cell workflows. His background spans national lab synchrotron experiments to industry-scale R&D, giving him rare fluency across fundamental characterization, electrochemistry, and manufacturing scale-up. Based in Buffalo, NY, he brings a pragmatic, iterative approach—melding theory, computation and hands-on experimentation—to deliver novel materials that meet real-world performance and production constraints.
