Left to Right: Man Wang, Chunfeng Ma, Guangzhao Zhang Man Wang completed his undergraduate programme at Jiangnan University and received his B.Eng. degrees in 2019. He is currently a Ph.D. student majoring in materials science and engineering, supervised by Prof. Guangzhao Zhang. His study mainly focuses on silicone-based antifouling materials. Chunfeng Ma received his B.Eng. from Anhui University (2006) and Ph.D. from the University of Science and Technology of China (2011) supervised by Prof. Guangzhao Zhang. Then, he joined SCUT to work on antifouling coatings and was promoted to professor in 2016. From 2014 to 2016, he worked as a Hong Kong Scholar (coadvisor: Prof. Pei-Yuan Qian) at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. His research focuses on marine antifouling/anti-corrosion materials, special engineering materials and impact protection materials.
Guangzhao Zhang received his B.Eng. from Sichuan University (1987) and Ph.D. from Fudan University (1998). He worked at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (1999−2001) and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst (2001- 2002) as a postdoctoral fellow. He worked in at the University of Science and Technology of China during2002-2010. Currently, he is a professor of polymer science and engineering at the South China University of Technology. His research interests are marine antifouling materials, chemical grouting materials, and the physical chemistry of macromolecules.
