Biography
Zhang Weiyi received his Bachelor in Physics from Nanjing University in 1982, Ph.D. from Helsinki University of Technology in Finland in 1988, and was a postdoctoral fellow and research assistant at Freie Universität Berlin in 1988-93. He has been at Nanjing University since 1993 and was promoted in 1996. He was a visiting scholar in the Department of Physics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the Department of Physics at the University of Hong Kong, and the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Delaware. In 2005, he became a contributing editor of Science Bulletin, and in 2005, he became an associate editor for Chinese Science Bulletin. Zhang's main interests are the study of exotic physical properties in nanostructured materials, the localized scaling behavior of multi-band Anderson models, the complex phenomena caused by charge-orbit-spin order competition in perovskite oxides, and the propagation behavior of electromagnetic waves in modulation structures. The focus is on the quantum physical effects in such systems and the possible regulation and applications.
