Chinese-American condensed matter physicist
Jun Zhu is a Chinese-American experimental condensed matter physicist known for her research in valleytronics [ 1] [ 2] and more generally on electronic transport in two-dimensional materials, particularly graphene .[ 3] She is a professor of physics at Pennsylvania State University .[ 4]
Education and career
Zhu graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1996, and completed her Ph.D. in 2003 at Columbia University ,[ 1] [ 4] working there with Horst Ludwig Störmer .[ 5] After postdoctoral research at Cornell University , she joined the Pennsylvania State University physics department as a faculty member in 2006.[ 1]
Recognition
In 2020 Zhu was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society , after a nomination from the APS Division of Condensed Matter Physics, "for fundamental advances in the understanding of charge-, valley- and spin-transport in 2D materials".[ 3]
