Jiajing (Zoey) Zhang is currently in her 5th year of study in the Architectural Engineering Program at The Pennsylvania State University. In May 2019, she will graduate with an Integrated Bachelor and Master of Architectural Engineering degree, with a focus in Lighting/ Electrical design.

Zoey is a member of several professional and student organizations including the Penn State Chapter of the Architectural Engineering Institute (SSAE), and the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Club and student member of International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD).

Zoey had two internships in the past couple of summers. In the summer of 2016, Zoey began exploring real-world projects by interning at Zhonghe Jiancheng, Inc in China. During that time, she gained a fascination in Architectural Engineering by learning how the building industry works. In the past summer, Zoey participated in lighting design internships with Lighting Design Alliance. She assisted the firm on multiple projects within the sectors of hospitality, entertainment, and residential. As an intern she performed lighting calculation, generated lighting layouts and reviewed submittals. These experiences provided her with valuable knowledge, making her a well-rounded insightful engineer and designer. She hopes to combine her artistic talents and technical aptitude to make an impact in this rapidly growing and prevalent lighting/electrical design field.
