Xiangdong Zhang
Prof. Xiangdong Zhang received his bachelor's and master's degrees in physics from the Department of Physics of Hebei Normal University in 1988 and 1993 respectively, and received his Ph.D degree from the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in April 1998. He is currently a distinguished professor at Beijing Institute of Technology. In addition, he was a visiting scholar at the Department of Physics of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology from May 1998 to July 2002, and conducted postdoctoral research. From August 2002 to September 2011, he served as a professor and doctoral supervisor at the Department of Physics of Beijing Normal University. In October 2011, he was transferred to the School of Physics of Beijing Institute of Technology. For many years, Prof. Zhang has been committed to the research on the physical properties and applications of photonic crystals and low-dimensional nanostructures, exploring the use of artificial micro-nanostructures to control classical and quantum light fields, and has achieved many innovative results. He has published more than 160 papers in core journals such as Phys. Rev. Lett., Adv. Matter., Appl. Phys. Lett. and Phys. RevA/B/E. His papers have been cited more than 4,000 times by papers published in SCI journals such as Nature, Science, Nature Materials, Nature Physics and Phys. Rev. Lett. He has given invited reports at international conferences many times, and his research results have been specially reported by Physics Web, Phys. World, etc. In 2004, he was selected into the "New Century Excellent Talent Support Program" of the Ministry of Education, and in 2008 he was awarded the National Outstanding Young Scientist Fund. He is currently undertaking a number of sub-projects such as the National Natural Science Foundation of China General Project, the Ministry of Science and Technology's Major Research Program/Quantum Control, etc.
