庄教授的研究成就包括多个由加拿大主要研究基金会资助的跨学科项目。这些项目围绕移民定居，城市景观，和市政政策进行交叉研究。她的研究发表在高影响力同行评审期刊，探讨如下规划主题：在非传统移民城市建设友好社区以吸引和保留移民，移民企业家对城市建设的影响，在’第三空间’以民族特色进行地方营造，移民与郊区转型，以及市政规划在移民定居和融合中的作用。她对移民定居、城市政策以及移民对城市空间的转型效应的全面调查，在北美、欧洲和大洋洲以及全球发达国家和发展中国家之间的多项正在进行的比较研究中发挥着关键作用。庄教授目前是大学城市规划学院协会（ACSP）任命的全球规划教育委员会（GPEC）会员，和规划教育和研究期刊（JPER）的副编辑。

Dr. Zhuang’s research accomplishments include multiple interdisciplinary projects funded by major Canadian research council grants examining the intersection of immigrant settlement, urban landscapes, and municipal policies. Her research has generated key peer-reviewed publications on topics such as building welcoming infrastructure to attract and retain migrants in non-traditional gateway cities, the influence of immigrant entrepreneurship on city building, ethnic place-making in ‘third places’, migration and suburban transformation, and the role of municipal planning in immigrant settlement and integration. Her comprehensive investigations into immigrant settlement, urban policies, and the transformational effects of immigrants on urban spaces play a pivotal role in numerous ongoing comparative studies across North America, Europe, and Oceania, as well as between the Global North and the Global South.
