Executive Director: Professor Hang Zheng
Prof. Hang Zheng began his scientific research career as a PhD student of solid state physics by studying the photo-induced collective excitations in exciton-phonon interacting systems in 1982. He got an assistant professor position in the physics department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University after he completed his PhD thesis in 1985. Prof. Zheng continued his research in the area of electron-phonon interaction and, around 1987, proposed the squeezed-polaron method to treat the non-adiabaticity of the electron-phonon interaction. He visited Department of Physics, University of Grenoble I, France, as Professeur Invite Etranger in 1988 for four months and Institute for Molecular Science, Japan, as guest professor in 1990 for six months. Prof. Zheng spent two years (1991-1993) in Freie Universitaet Berlin as Alexander von Humboldt fellow, engaged in doing theoretical research on the mechanism of superconductivity in doped fullerenes and other electron-phonon systems. During 1994-2003, Prof. Zheng’s interest focused mainly on the effect of quantum and thermal lattice fluctuations on the quasi-one-dimensional systems, such as the charge-density-wave state and the spin-Peierls one, and the crossover behavior between large and small polarons in many-electron systems, such as the manganites exhibiting colossal magnetoresistance. Since 2004, Prof. Zheng has been studying the quantum physics in open environment and the quantum optics in solid state, especially the effect of the counter-rotating interaction between quantum systems and the environment (or the vacuum).

Research
Prof. Ping Ao's research is interdisciplinary, ranging from biology, to engineering and physics. Both dry and wet approaches have been employed.
- In (systems) biology, his research consists of four major programs: cancer network dynamics, metabolism, evolutionary biology, and stochastic dynamics.
- In physics, research on condensed matter physics and non-equilibrium physics is still active.
Recently, his group has been developing a new method on stochastic differential equations, and have solved two fundamental problems in evolutionary biology; found the first generic construction of Lyapunov function in whole state space; and formulated a cancer dynamical and a kinetic metabolic pathway frameworks.

Antonio is a theoretical physicist with research interests in low-dimensional superconductivity, mesoscopic physics and holographic dualities. He received his PhD in the State University of New York at Stony Brook under the supervision of Prof. Jac Verbaarschot.
He has held research appointments in the University of Tokyo, Université Paris-Sud, and Princeton University (2004-2009). From 2009 to 2011 he was assistant professor in the University of Lisbon. From 2011 to 2017 he was a staff member, and EPSRC Career Acceleration fellow, in the Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University.
He has over seventy publications, including recent papers in Nature Materials, PRX and several Physical Review Letters, and over forty invitations to international conferences. In the last few years he has supervised three postdocs, three PhD students and eight master students. He has been the recipients of awards and grants from public research agencies and private foundations in UK, European Union, Portugal, Japan and Spain. He is a referee for leading research journals such Nature Physics and also funding agencies in Netherlands, Germany, Argentina and UK. He has active collaborations, and recent papers, with senior researchers in MIT, UC Santa Barbara, Harvard University, RIKEN and Kyoto University.
Highlights of his research includes a theory of finite size effects in nano-superconductors and its experimental demonstration, the development of a novel theory of defect formation in dynamical phase transitions, a semiclassical analytical description of the Anderson metal-insulator transition and his recent proposals of a novel form of quantum matter based on Efimov physics.
