Meng Zhu

Meng Zhu is a CNST/UMD Postdoctoral Researcher in the Electron Physics Group in the CNST. He received a B.S. in Physics from Nanjing University, China, and a Ph.D. in Physics from the Pennsylvania State University. His thesis research focused on growth of ferromagnetic semiconductor epilayers and heterostructures by molecular beam epitaxy, and characterization of their electrical transport properties. Meng is currently working with Robert McMichael on the development of magnetic nanostructures and nanoscale microwave devices.
