Wenbo Zhan

Dr. Wenbo Zhan is a Lecturer in the School of Engineering at the University of Aberdeen, specializing in Biomedical Engineering. His research focuses on biomechanics, transport processes in biological systems, and image-based modeling of drug delivery mechanisms.

• Education: PhD in Chemical Engineering (2014, Imperial College London); MSc in Thermal Energy and Power Engineering (2010, Harbin Institute of Technology); BEng in Thermal Energy and Power Engineering (2008, Xi’an Jiaotong University)
• Grants: Royal Society grants for brain tumor drug delivery (2022-2024), EPSRC/EU funding for hydrogen production (2024-2028), and Children's Brain Tumour Drug Delivery Consortium support (2022)

Research Trends: Dr. Zhan's recent work (2024-2025) emphasizes computational modeling of brain tumor drug delivery, nanoparticle transport in heterogeneous tissues, and thermosensitive hydrogel applications. His models integrate multiscale fluid dynamics with medical imaging to optimize targeted therapies for glioblastoma and prostate cancer.
