Dr. Liusheng Zha received his Bachelor degree of Polymer Reaction Engineering from Hefei University of Technology in 1985, and Master degree of Analytical Chemistry from University of Science and Technology of China in 1990. In 2002, he acquired his Ph.D degree of Polymer Chemistry and Physics from Fudan University. In 2011, he did research as a visiting scholar in Clemson University of America.

Dr. Zha is now a full professor of Donghua University (DU). He is the researcher of State Key Laboratory for Modification of Chemical Fibers and Polymer Materials. His research interest is focused on intelligent polymer materials. Prior to joining DU, he was a professor of Anhui University and once acted as vice director of Polymer Materials Institute and director of Modern Experiment Technology Center. During this period, he pursued his research on synthesis and application of water borne polyurethanes.

Dr. Zha is the author of over 120 papers that appeared in the academic publications, such as Advanced Materials, Soft Matter, Journal of Colloid and Interface, Colloid and Polymer Science, etc. His major contributions are on the synthesis of temperature responsive and pH/temperature dually responsive nanogels or hollow nanogels, and their application in drug delivery and medical diagnosis.
