Profile

Professor Simen Yanguang Zhou received his Ph.D. degree with “Ausgezeichnet” in Mechanical Engineering Department at RWTH-Aachen University, as well as his M.Eng. degree and B.Eng. degree in Mechanical Engineering Department at Beihang University and China University of Geoscience, respectively. After graduation from Aachen, he worked as a postdoc research associate and an assistant visiting project scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) before joining HKUST as an assistant professor. 

Prof. Zhou’s group designs advanced materials & structures, i.e., thermoelectric materials, magnetic materials and nanocomposites, via using nanotechnologies (both experimental and theoretical methods), with applications in energy, thermal management in solid-state batteries and soft electronics.
