Her research in bio-inspired nanotechnology and microfluidics has attracted research funding (>$50M) from ARC, NHMRC, MRFF, CRC-P as sole/leading CI or CI, including six Australian Research Council projects as the lead CI or sole CI, Deputy Director and Program Leader of ARC Centre of Excellence ($35M), three national prestigious fellowship (Australian Postdoctoral Fellowship 2011-2014 and Australian Research Council Future Fellowship 2015-2020, and NHMRC Leadership Fellowship 2022-2026), and many university and industry grants. In 2014, she worked with Prof. David Weitz (a pioneer in microfluidics) at Harvard University as Fellow of the School of Engineering and Applied Science. In 2016, her research excellence was recognised by the UQ Foundation Research Excellence Award. She has been appointed as member of the 2019 ARC College of Experts (2019-2021).

In recognition of her outstanding contributions to the field, Professor Zhao was awarded a NHMRC Investigator Grant (Leadership Fellow) from the NHMRC for her project "Novel nanotechnology strategies towards a new paradigm of precision nanomedicine".

Prof. Zhao has contributed substantial high quality scientific papers in international top refereed journals such as PNAS, Science Advances, Nature Comm, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, ACS Nano, Chemical Communications, Advanced Healthcare Materials, and so on. She has been focusing on innovative research, and has been active in patent application to transfer her research into practical applications, as evidenced by her six patents. One of her patents was licensed to an international company. She has built extensive collaborations with scientists at top universities such as Harvard University, Brown University, etc. She serves as the Editor-in-Chief, Editorial Board member for several journals.
