About
Weihong Zhu is a leading figure in luminescent materials and optical sensing, with a focus on developing advanced sensors for biomedical and environmental applications. Her work centers on the design of platinum porphyrin-based copolymers, which exhibit near-infrared (NIR) luminescence and high oxygen permeability. Her most-cited paper, “A NIR luminescent copolymer based on platinum porphyrin as high permeable dissolved oxygen sensor for microbioreactors” (2013, 27 citations), introduces a novel hydrophobic copolymer, P(Pt‐TPP‐TFEMA), that significantly enhances dissolved oxygen sensing in microbioreactors. This contribution addresses the growing need for parallelized, small-volume bioreactor systems by enabling real-time, non-invasive oxygen monitoring. Zhu’s research bridges materials chemistry and bioengineering, offering practical solutions for high-throughput biological assays. Her work is notable for its interdisciplinary impact, combining synthetic polymer chemistry with sensor design to improve the accuracy and efficiency of microbioreactor platforms. With a citation record that underscores the relevance of her innovations, Zhu continues to influence the development of optical sensors for life sciences and industrial biotechnology.
