Dr. Jinsong Zhang (Chemistry and Biochemistry) and Dr. Kun Zhang (Civil Engineering) will present the results of their 2020 Lantis University Professor Award. Thinking outside of the box, these professors assessed and created a road pothole-patching material made from used cooking oil, plastic and reclaimed asphalt. The project created a sustainable and practical solution for road maintenance and engaged a number of collaborators in the North State including Smart Alternative Fuels, Northern Recycling & Waste Services, and the City of Chico.
