Zhenxiang Cheng

Zhenxiang Cheng is the Theme leader for Multiferroic Materials Program, and a Professor at Institution for Superconducting and Electronic Materials, Australian Institute for Innovative Materials, University of Wollongong, Australia. He received a B.S. in Physics in 1995, a M.S. in Condensed Matter Physics in 1998 and a PhD in Material Science in 2001 from Shandong University, China. He was a research fellow at the Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials (ISEM) of University of Wollongong (2002-2003, 2005-2009), a JSPS (Japanese Society for Promotion of Science) fellow at National Institute for Material Science (NIMS) in Japan (2003-2005), a Future Fellow from the Australia Research Council in 2009, an Associate Professor (2011-2017)  and a full Professor since 2017.

Cheng has published more than 400 SCI journal papers in the field of applied physics. He is the editor board member of Scientific Report (Nature Publisher), and NIMS Research Advisor (Japan). His research currently is mainly focusing on: electronic polar materials and their applications; multiferroic materials and the magnetoelectric coupling behaviour; nano ferroic materials for energy-related applications; and magnetic and spintronic materials and the first principle calculation of electronic band structures.
