Biography of the Speaker: 

Yusheng Zhao is a Chair Professor and Senior Advisor to the President of Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo. He received his Ph.D. degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Formerly at SUSTech he served as Acting Vice President (Scientific Research), Director of the Office of Research, Dean of the Academy for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies, and Chair Professor in the Department of Physics. Prof. Zhao is the Director of Shenzhen Key Laboratory of Solid State Batteries, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Energy Materials for Electric Power, and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Joint Laboratory for Photonic-Thermal-Electrical Energy Materials and Devices.

Dr. Zhao's research areas span high-pressure physics, material physics, crystal chemistry, nanomechanics, exploration and conservation of the earth and environment, and exploitation of energy resources. He specializes in the study of the phase transition processes under external forces and focuses on the correlations between the structure of matter and physical properties, and those between material processing and functional performance, through recently the studies of superhard nano polycrystalline materials, superionic electro-chemistry and advanced battery materials, and gas hydrates. Prof. Zhao is one of the pioneers in the field of materials research at extreme conditions such as high temperature and high pressure using large-scale scientific facilities (synchrotron radiation and neutron scattering). He participated in the planning, design and establishment of Los Alamos LANSCE-HIPPO and Oakridge SNS-SNAP high-pressure neutron facilities, and in the construction and operation of the Brookhaven NSLS-X17 and Argonne APS-HPCAT synchrotron high-pressure experimental stations, serving as a member of the Executive Committee. Prof. Zhao is leading the effort in the planning, design and establishment of the high-pressure neutron diffractometer at the China Spallation Neutron Source.
