Zhan Zhang is a summer student at Smart & Biggar’s Ottawa office.
Zhan earned a PhD in Chemistry from École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where his doctoral work focused on computational quantum molecular dynamics and spectroscopy.
He has contributed to the legal community through a range of service and leadership activities, including roles as a Student Notetaker at the Edmonton Community Legal Centre, a Volunteer Caseworker with Student Legal Services and an Assistant Stage Manager for the Law Show.
Zhan is excited to join Smart & Biggar for the opportunity to work across the spectrum of intellectual property matters and to learn directly from some of the field’s most respected practitioners.
