Group Yan-Zhen Zheng was born and raised in Guangdong, China. He received his PhD degree in 2007 under Xiao-Ming Chen (Sun Yat-Sen University) for studying low-dimensional magnetic coordination polymers. Yan-Zhen then moved to Europe with the supports of Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship under Annie Powell (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) and Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship under Richard Winpenny (The University of Manchester) for advanced molecular magnetism study. During this period he had a short postdoctoral training for spintronics under Paul Kögerler (Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University). In 2012, he was appointed as a full professor at Xi'an Jiaotong University, where he started his own adventure in molecular magnetism and functional coordination complexes research. In 2014, he was promoted to an associate dean for Frontier Institute of Science and Technology (FIST) and jointly the lab director of molecular spin and electronic structure (MSES). Currently, the research topics in his group mainly focus on the design and synthesis of single-molecule magnets, functional lanthanide clusters, and electrically-conductive coordination compounds.
