Yongmei Zheng, PhD, is a professor at Key Laboratory of Bio-Inspired Smart Interfacial Science and Technology of Ministry of Education, School of Chemistry, Beihang University, Beijing. Her research interests are focused on bioinspired surfaces with gradient micro- and nanostructures to control dynamic wettability and develop the surfaces and materials with characteristics of fog-harvesting, tiny droplet transport, water collection, water harvesting, water repellency, anti-icing/ice-phobicity etc. Her publications are more than 142 SCI papers with H index of 47.
