He works with scientists from the American Museum of Natural History and the Chinese Academy of Sciences to provide scientific and artistic support for their research projects.
As of now, Zhao has completed work on more than 1,000 ancient fossil bio-images and the 3D biological images of hundreds of paleontological fossils based on the latest research results of the scientific community.
In addition, Zhao and writer Yang Yang are the founders of the PNSO, an organization devoted to the research and creation of scientific art in Beijing. They compile dinosaur-themed science books, design and make dinosaur model toys, and let people feel connected with the fossils.
