He currently serves as the Editor-in-Chief (EiC) for Progress in Biomedical Engineering published by IOP. He was the EiC for IEEE T-ITB, the founding EiC of IEEE J-BHI, and the EiC for IEEE R-BME. He served as Vice President of IEEE EMBS, the Chair of 2016-2018 IEEE Award Committee in Biomedical Engineering, a member of IEEE Medal Panel for Healthcare Technology Award, and the award committee of IAMBE. He has been the main organizer for 22 editions of the Annual IEEE EMBS Summer School and Symposium on Medical Devices and Biosensors (MDBS) started from the University of Wisconsin at Madison since 2002. Professor Zhang served as Technical Program Chair of IEEE EMBC’98 in Hong Kong, Conference Chair of IEEE EMBC’05 in Shanghai, International Committee Co-Chair of IEEE EMBC’07 in Lyon, International Committee Chair of IEEE EMBC’ 11 in Boston, International Committee Chair of IEEE EMBC’13 in Osaka, and Technical Program Committee Co-Chair of IEEE EMBC’17 in Jeju Island. He was invited to give numerous talks at various international conferences worldwide including those at the First IEEE Life Sciences Grand Challenges Conference held at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington DC in 2012, at the 40th IEEE-EMBS Annual International Conference (IEEE EMBC’18) in Hawaii in 2018, Earl Owen Lecture at SMIT-IBEC2018 in Korea, and at the 2019 Conference on Wearable Devices for Medical Diagnosis held at IIT in Israel. Professor Zhang’s research interests include unobtrusive sensing, wearable devices, tonoarteriography (TAG)/cBP, and neural physiological modeling. He was selected on the lists of China’s Most Cited Researchers in Biomedical Engineering by Elsevier, the top 2% researcher worldwide by Stanford University, and ranked No. 1 researcher in cuffless BP technology during the last 30 years from 1990 to 2020. He won a number of international awards including IEEEEMBS best journal paper awards, IEEE-EMBS Outstanding Service Award, IEEE-SA 2014 Emerging Technology Award,  IEEE-EMBS Chapter Award in Greece, Asia-Pacific E-Medicine Technology Grand Award in Australia, and most recently he won the 2023 IEEE EMBS William J. Morlock Award. Prof. Zhang is elected as IAMBE Fellow, IEEE Life Fellow, AIMBE Fellow, HKIE Fellow and AAIA Fellow for his contributions to the development of wearable and m-Health technologies.
