Dr. Junjie Zhang is a professor of the State Key Laboratory of Crystal Materials, Shandong University. He received his B.E. in 2008 and his Ph.D. in 2013 (Supervisor: Prof. Xutang Tao) from Shandong University for single crystal growth, structure, properties and nonlinear optical conversion of molybdate tellurium oxides. From 2013-2017, he was a postdoctoral appointee (Supervisor: Dr. John F. Mitchell) at Argonne National Laboratory’s Materials Science Division, where his research involved high-pressure floating zone growth of quantum materials including cobaltites and nickelates. He moved to Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Scattering and Thermophysics group as a postdoctoral research associate in 2017 (Advisor: Dr. Raphael P. Hermann). Appointed to a “Qilu Youth” and “Taishan Youth” professor in Shandong University in Nov. 2019, his current research emphasizes strategic synthesis, crystal growth, and structural studies of quantum materials. Zhang is author or co-author of ~50 peer-reviewed publications in scholarly journals, including Nature Physics, Physical Review Letters, PNAS, and Nature Communications.
