Zhang Qing

Biography

Qing Zhang received his Bachelor Degree from Lanzhou University, China in 1982, Master Degree from Chinese Academy of Sciences, China in 1987 and Ph.D from Kanazawa University, Japan in 1995. He joined School of EEE in 1996. Currently, he is teaching physics foundation (quantum physics) for first-year students, advanced semiconductor physics for postgraduates and nanoelectronics for postgraduates. He, together with his group members, has been studying the physical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), diamond-like carbon films and CVD diamond and developing a variety of devices based on these carbon materials, including CNT based diodes, CNT nitrophenol/NH3/glucose sensors; complementary CNT-network logic gates, heat transport in CNTs, influence of dichlorocarbene functionalzation on the electrical properties of CNTs, the formation mechanism of diamond-like carbon thin films, etc. He has jointly published 202 peer reviewed journal papers and 170 conference papers/presentations. He serves as director of master degree of science electronics programme and supervisor of nanoelectronics laboratory I and II. He has successfully organized and chaired the Symposium of Nanodevices and Nanofabrication in 2011, 2009, 2007 and 2005, respectively, for the International Conference on Materials for Advanced Technologies.
