Hua Zhang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Lehigh University, part of the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science. Their research focuses on smart grids, wireless charging, transportation electrification, and high-frequency power conversion. They also investigate advanced materials such as ultra-high-performance concrete and fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs), analyzing their mechanical properties under dynamic strain rates and temperature variations.
Key research areas include structural interfaces between concrete materials, composite material behavior under complex loading conditions, and failure mechanisms in FRP composites. Their work bridges electrical engineering innovations with material science, addressing challenges in sustainable infrastructure and energy systems.
Experimental studies dominate their output, with recent work emphasizing CFRP, BFRP, and GFRP composites under varying environmental and mechanical stressors. Articles from 2014–2025 reveal a consistent focus on material characterization through dynamic tensile testing, strain rate effects, and temperature dependencies.
