Prof. Xinhua Zhu

Xinhua Zhu obtained his B.S., M.S., and Ph. D degrees in Materials Science from Xi’an Jiaotong University in 1989, 1992, and 1995, respectively. He has been a professor at the School of Physics, Nanjing University since 2006. He worked at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in 2012 and 2013, Queen’s University of Belfast from 2004 to 2006, Max-Planck-Inst Mikrostrukturphys (Halle, Germany) from 2003 to 2004, and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University from 2000 to 2001. He was the recipients of the Alexander von Humboldt Research Scholarship in 2002, the First Grade National Natural Science prize from Ministry of Education of China in 2003, and Second Grade National Natural Science price from Ministry of Science and Technology of China in 2005, and Scientist Award from International Association of Advanced Materials (IAAM) in 2019. His current research interests include processing of multiferroic perovskite materials (nanocrystals, thin films, and bulk materials), and nanostructured fabrication; defects and microstructures of perovksite structured multiferroics characterized by (HR)TEM techniques; and microstructure-property relationships in both advanced functional ceramic materials and nanostructured functional materials. He has published > 135 papers in prestigious international refereed journals together with the SCI cited times of > 2000.
