Prof. Zhang is Professor of Geography, Director of International Network for Environment and Health (INEH) at University of Galway, and serves as a member of Academic Council Standing Committee of the University. He teaches Geographic Information System (GIS) courses at the University. Prof. Zhang’s academic background covers both GIS and environmental geochemistry. His research focuses on spatial analyses of environmental variables, especially metals and nutrients in soils, using GIS, geostatistics and other spatial statistical techniques, to identify hotspots and quantify spatial variation, providing scientific bases for improved environmental management, mineral exploration, precision agriculture and human health. Prof. Zhang has published more than 200 papers in peer-reviewed journals (Google Scholar H-index: 57; SCOPUS H-index: 51).
Prof. Zhang holds the following international professional positions: Co-Chair of International Medical Geology Association; Past President of Society for Environmental Geochemistry and Health and Chair of Board of International Symposium on Environmental Geochemistry; Associate Editor of Journal of Geochemical Exploration; Associate/Coordinating Editor of Environmental Geochemistry and Health; Member of Editorial Board of Science of the Total Environment. Prof. Zhang received National Conference Ambassador Award from Failte Ireland in 2018, Galway City Mayor’s Award in “Arts, Culture, Heritage & Cúrsaí Gaeilge” in 2021, and “Distinguished Service Award” from International Medical Geology Association in 2021.
