Personal Profile

Lei Zhang is a full-time professor at the Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology (NUIST). He obtained his PhD degree in Natural Science (Physics) from Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge. Prior to this, he received his MSc in Composite Materials from Imperial College London, and his BEng degree from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Before joining NUIST, he was a post-doc researcher at the State University of New York at Buffalo. 

His research interests include materials informatics, photovoltaic materials and computational materials science. Recently, he is focusing on the development and application of big-data and AI methods (e.g., machine learning, natural language processing, image recognition, high-throughput DFT calculation, high-throughput experiments and data mining) combined with first-principles calculations to predict and understand photovoltaic materials and beyond.

He has published >100 scientific papers in SCI journals such as Nano Energy and Advanced Functional Materials. He has refereed hundreds of manuscripts for journals including Nature MaterialsNature CommunicationsJournal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), Advaned Materials, Advanced Energy Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, ACS Nano, NPJ Computational Materials, Journal of Chemical Information and Modelling, Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, Journal of Physical Chemistry C, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Journal of Materials Chemistry A, Journal of Materials Chemistry C, Nano Research, Journal of Power Sources, Advanced Electronic Materials, Journal of Power Sources, Nanoscale, Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, Solar Engergy Materials and Solar Cells, Cell Reports Physical Science, etc. 

He is an editorial board member of CMC - Computers, Materials & Continua (SCI, IF=3.1)
