Education and Employment

Jia-Lin Zhu graduated from the Department of Engineering Physics in Tsinghua University in 1965. He was a visiting scientist in Linkoping University, Sweden (1982-1984) and a visiting professor in SUNY at Buffalo, the United States (1995-1996), and worked on materials design as a guest professor invited by the president of Tohoku University, Japan (1996-1998) and a visiting professor in NIMS, Tsukuba, Japan (2002.6-8, 2004.1-2). Now he is a professor and the chairman of the Degree Committee at Department of Physics, Tsinghua University and the vice chairman of Editorial Council of Tsinghua Science and Technology.

Teaching

Prof. Zhu is engaged in teaching and research on condensed matter physics and materials science, and mathematics of classical and quantum physics. He has supervised more than 20 M.S. and 15 Ph. D. graduate students.

Interests

His research activity deals with physics in quantum-well materials, few particle problems and related optical properties in quantum dot structures, transport properties and strongly correlated electronic phenomena in low dimensional systems, spin tunneling problems in magnetic nanoparticles, and computational design of nanometer scale materials. In these fields, he has published over 100 papers in well known scientific journals including 42 papers in Physical Review and Applied Physics Letters. The publications have been frequently referred.

Awards and Membership

Prof. Zhu received the scientific achievement awards given by the National Education Commission (Ministry of Education, China) in 1990, 1994 and 1998 and the important contribution ones by the National Science and Technology Commission (Ministry of Science and Technology, China) in 1991 and 2001, respectively. Due to the research work on the quantum behavior and computational design for low dimensional structures, he won a second class Award of 2000 National Prize of Natural Science in 2001.
