Biography

Cheng Xiaomin is a Professor at the School of Optical and Electrical Information in Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Her research spans information storage materials and devices, including spintronic materials and devices, phase-change memory materials and devices, semiconductor memory, magnetic recording media, magnetic materials and functional thin film materials etc. She played important roles in many national, provincial and ministerial level fundings, for example, the 863 major sub-project "New storage devices," 863 project " Resistance type phase change memory technology for high density and low power consumption", Natural Science Fundation of China "optical -magnetic hybrid recording media, properties and disc research", the Natural Science Fund of China " Preparation and mechanism of SmCo5 perpendicular magnetic thin films ", the Hubei Provincial Key Scientific and Technogical Fund "Research on phase change random access memory chip" and so on. Currently, she is in charge of three projects, the Natural Science Foundation Project of China "Magnetization reversal study in the perpendicular spin torque transfer magnetic tunnel junction with nano-current channel structure ", the Natural Science Foundation Project of China “Fundamental research on the magnetoresistance effect and its physical mechanism in nonmagnetic GeTe/Sb2Te3 superlattice thin films and memory cells”; 863 sub-project “Research on the anti-thermal crosstalk, low-current phase change materials and devices”. Xiaomin Cheng has published more than 30 journal papers and has applied for 13 patents including 1 international patent.
