Brief Bio
Liang Zhang is a prominent figure in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department at the University of Connecticut (UConn). He was appointed as the new head of the ECE department in May 2025, with his appointment starting in August 2025. He has been with UConn Engineering since 2013, starting as an Assistant Professor in the ECE Department.
Zhang joined UConn Engineering in 2013 as an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Since then, he has held various positions within the department, including the director of undergraduate studies, Pratt & Whitney Associate Professor in Advanced Systems Engineering, and director of the Department of Energy Southern New England Industrial Training and Assessment Center. He also holds an affiliated position with the management and engineering for manufacturing program.
