Zoey earned her B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from Drexel University. She was jointly advised by both Prof. Sarah Perry and Prof. Jessica Schiffman. Her research is focused on developing methods to encapsulate antimicrobial and catalytic moeties into thin films and nanofibers of polyelectrolyte complex-based materials.
Dr. Zoey Meng successfully defended her PhD dissertation on Electrospinning Fibers via Complex Coacervation on November 10th, 2020. Dr. Meng was the fifth PhD student to graduate from the Perry Lab! Zoey has since joined the lab of Prof. Rachel Segalman at the University of California at Santa Barbara as a postdoc.
