Prof. Dr. Pinwen Zhu obtained his bachelor's degree from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of Jilin University in 1995 and his master's and doctorate degrees from the State Key Laboratory of Superhard Materials in 1995 and 2002. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher and visiting scholar at the National Institute of Materials Science and Technology in Japan from 2003 to 2007. At present, he is mainly engaged in the preparation of multi-functional superhard materials under high temperature and high pressure for large cavities and research on physical properties in situ under high pressure. He is a professor and doctoral supervisor at the State Key Laboratory of superhard materials, an outstanding talent of the Ministry of Education, and the leader of a research group that focuses on the preparation of new multi-functional superhard materials under high temperature and pressure. Research interests: multifunctional new superhard materials and in-situ high-pressure physical properties.
