Biography

Dr. Qian Zhang is an Assistant Professor in the Robert M. Buchan Department of Mining at Queen's University in Canada. He leads a research group fostering a roadmap of green mining in Canada and internationally through strategic management of sustainability and resilience challenges in the mining value chain. Zhang's main research interests are climate change mitigation, environmental and natural resource management, and urban sustainability. His research focuses on greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting, carbon footprint analysis, and policy-oriented modelling of other environmental pressures (natural resource depletion, water scarcity, air pollution, solid waste, etc.) on the built environment using analytical methods, such as input-output analysis, material flow analysis, and life-cycle assessment.
