Meet the Hudson Fellows

Mingze Zhu

Mingze Zhu

Mingze Zhu earned both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Physical Education from Shanghai University of Sport and later secured a Master of Public Health in Biostatistics from the University of South Florida. Currently, Mingze is a Ph.D. student in Occupational and Environmental Health at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, where he also contributes as a graduate research assistant. His academic foundation uniquely blends exercise sciences and biostatistics, offering an enriched perspective on the intersections of exercise, environmental triggers, and human health. Over the past two years, Mingze has directed his research towards examining the health consequences associated with the exposure of Oklahoma firefighters to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). His findings aim to enhance safety measures and shape prevention tactics in the profession. Not confined to firefighter health, Mingze’s current scope extends to the realm of children’s health within the broader context of occupational and environmental health. His contributions to the field have been acknowledged with two 1st place student poster accolades at the 2023 American Industrial Hygiene Conference and Exposition in Phoenix.
