1978 Wang Zhonglin was admitted by Northwest Institute of Telecommunications Engineering; 1982 went to Arizona state university in the United States through the Sino-US joint training of physics graduate students. 1July, 1987, received a doctorate in physics; 1995 was employed by Georgia Institute of Technology as an associate professor and director of the electron microscope laboratory.
In September, 2000, he founded the Center for Nanotechnology of Georgia Institute of Technology and served as its director. In 2004, he served as the first overseas director of the National Nanoscience Center; In 2004, he was promoted to tenured professor of Georgia Institute of Technology; In February 2005, he promoted the establishment of the Department of Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology of Peking University Institute of Technology and served as the first president.
In 2009, he was elected as a foreign academician of China Academy of Sciences. 20 12 was appointed as the chief scientist of Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Systems, China Academy of Sciences. In 20 19, he was awarded the Albert Einstein World Science Prize, the first scientist in China to win this honor.
Wang Zhonglin is mainly engaged in the theoretical and applied research of nano-materials science, including the synthesis, characterization, growth mechanism and application of zinc oxide nano-materials. Controllable growth, characterization and application of nano-materials: nano-energy technology and self-driven nano-system technology; Piezoelectric electronics and piezoelectric optoelectronics.
Personality assessment
Wang Zhonglin is a scientist with important academic influence in the field of international nanotechnology. His research is original, forward-looking and leading. His Chinese and English works have played a positive role in promoting the development of nanotechnology and education.
Wang Zhonglin is a friendly ambassador of Sino-US scientific and technological exchanges. He has done a lot of work to promote exchanges and cooperation between the scientific and technological circles of the two countries, and served as the chairman and organizer of more than 20 international conferences held in China.
I took advantage of my long-term cooperation and personal friendship with many famous international scholars to invite them to attend the conference in China and introduce the latest progress and excellent scientific research ideas in the international frontier field to the vast number of domestic scientific and technological workers and graduate students.
