Thermoelectric materials for power generation and Nanodevices Dr Zhigang Chen is currently a research Fellow in the School of Mechanical & Mining Engineering, the University of Queensland. Dr. Chen received his PHD from the Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2008, on controllable synthesis, growth mechanisms, and properties of quasi-one-dimensional ZnS and BN semiconductor nanomaterials. Dr. Chen focuses on research in biomimetic fabrication of inorganic and hybrid thermoelectric nanomaterials for energy generation and saving; optoelectronic device and functional system for next generation optoelectronics based on inorganic nanostructures; design and fabrication of chemical and biological nanosensor device based on inorganic nanostructures. In the past 2 years, as a Chief Investigator, Dr. Chen has succeeded in winning 2 ARC grants (one is first lead CI and other one is APD Fellow), 1 ARC LIEF grant, 1 international linkage grant from the Australian Academy of Sciences and 3 UQ grants. Dr. Chen has contributed more than 66 original journal publications (including top ranking journals such as Nature Nano., Adv. Mater., Adv. Funct. Mater., J. Am Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem., ACS Nano, etc.), 3 patents and over 10 presentations, which have been cited > 1000 times (ISI web) with H index of 20.
