Dr. Xiaohong Zheng, male, professor in condensed matter physics, was born in May 1975 in Longhui County, Hunan Province, China. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Hunan Normal University in 1998 and 2001 respectively and Ph.D degree from the Institute of Solid State Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS） in 2005. Since that, he has been working in the Institute of Solid State Physics, CAS. During 2006-2008, he worked as a Post-doctoral fellow in North Carolina State University, USA. Currently, his research interests mainly focus on electron, spin and thermal transport in nano- and molecular devices by first principles calculations; study of electronic structures in clusters, nanostructures, surfaces and interfaces; method and code development for transport study in nano-electronic devices with complex structures; acceleration of first principles calculations based on GPU programming. Thus far, he has published over 70 papers in peer-reviewed journals.
