Prof. Qian Zhang
Heilongjiang University of Science and Technology, China
Zhang Qian, Professor, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Fellow, Doctoral Supervisor, Council Member of the Heilongjiang Provincial Management Society, and Young Innovative Talent of Heilongjiang Provincial General Undergraduate Universities. Her primary research focuses on low-carbon economy and the transformation of resource-based cities. Centered on the coal industry and the economic and social development of the Heilongjiang region, she addresses the "dual carbon" goals and the transformation of resource-based cities, proposing a trinity green transformation mechanism of "environmental regulation, technological innovation, and industrial structure," which provides an important development direction for the transformation of regional coal cities. She has led seven research projects, including the National Social Science Fund, China Postdoctoral Science Foundation, and Heilongjiang Provincial Social Science Fund. She has published two academic monographs and over 30 academic papers, including one in a SCI Zone 1 Top journal and more than 10 in CSSCI (Extended) indexed journals. Her achievements have earned her one second-class prize and four third-class prizes for Outstanding Provincial Social Science Research, as well as one first-class prize, two second-class prizes, and one third-class prize for Provincial University Humanities and Social Sciences Research.
