Zhang Zhenyu
University of Science and Technology of China
Prof. Zhang Zhenyu is a Distinguished Chair Professor at the Hefei National Research Center for Physical Sciences at the Microscale, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). He co-founded the International Center for Quantum Design of Functional Materials and has held prestigious academic positions at leading institutions, including Harvard University, the University of Tennessee, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the USA. Prof. Zhang’s research focuses on theoretical, computational, and simulation studies in condensed matter physics. He applies multi-scale methods to investigate the non-equilibrium growth and physical properties of low-dimensional systems and quantum materials, with applications in information and energy technologies. His recent work explores layered materials, interfacial and topological superconductivity, quantum anomalous Hall effect, topological catalysis, and quantum plasmons. Prof. Zhang has authored numerous influential papers in top journals, advancing understanding in quantum materials and condensed matter physics. He is based in Hefei, China, at USTC’s Physical Sciences Microscale Center.
