Biography
"Chen Zhong graduated with BEng in Metallurgy & Materials Science in 1984 in China. He started his academic career in 1987 (Assistant Lecturer & Lecturer) right after obtaining his MEng degree in Materials Science and Engineering. In 1992, he was awarded a one-year visiting scholarship by the Ministry of Education of China to work in the University of Reading, U.K. After completing the visit, he was financially supported by the Overseas Research Scholarship (ORS) awarded by the Committee of Vice Chancellors and Principals (CVCP) in the U.K. and an EU research grant to pursue his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Tony Atkins. In April 1997, Dr. Chen came to Singapore to join the newly founded Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE), a national research institute under the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR, formerly known as NSTB) of Singapore government. In March 2000, the passion for creating & imparting knowledge to students brought him back to the education arena to become a faculty member in the Materials Engineering division of the School of Applied Science at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU). The division has since grown to the current School of Materials Science and Engineering. Chen Zhong is an editor or member of the editorial board of several international journals, and has served as reviewer for more than 70 international journals (e.g. Acta Materialia, Advanced Materials, Applied Physics Letters, Energy & Environmental Science, Nanoscale, Nature Communications). He has also served as an external reviewer for international funding agencies including the European Research Council."
