Zheng Hu was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu in 1964. He attended Nanjing University for his undergraduate and postgraduate education from 1981 to 1991, and earned his BS, MS, PhD degrees in Physics. After two-year’s postdoctoral research in Department of Chemistry, he assumed an associate professor position in 1993, professor position in 1999, and Cheung Kong Scholar professor position in 2007. As a guest scientist, he visited Research Center of Karlsruhe (Germany), University of Cambridge (UK), and MIT (USA) for two years. Hu has mainly worked in the research field of materials chemistry and physical chemistry addressing on the synthesis and growth mechanism of a range of nanoscale materials such as carbon-based nanotubes and group III nitrides, the characterization of the unique physical properties of these materials, as well as the demonstration of applications of these novel materials in fuel cells or nanodevices. This research by definition is highly interdisciplinary. As the principal scientist, he has finished more than 15 research projects with honor. In 2005, he got the highly competitive NSFC fund for outstanding young scientists of China. To date, Hu has published more than 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals and is the principal inventor of 15 Chinese patents. He has also served as Director of the Key Laboratory of Mesoscopic Chemistry of Ministry of Education (2003-), Standing Council Member of Chinese Vacuum Society (2004-), Council Member of Chinese Micro & Nano Technology Society (2005-), Members of the Editorial Board for Journal of Nanoelectronics and Optoelectronics (2006-) and Plasma Science & Technology (1999- ). In his spare time, he enjoys playing table tennis and owned the championship for staff of Nanjing University (2004, 2005) and in MIT’s Olympic day (2007).
