Institute Professor Xi-Cheng Zhang Wins Humboldt Research Award
January 10, 2018
Two University of Rochester faculty members—William Jones of the Department of Chemistry and Xi-Cheng Zhang of the Institute of Optics—have received prestigious Humboldt Research Awards. The awards will enable them to spend up to one year cooperating on a long-term research project with specialist colleagues at a research institution in Germany.
Zhang, the M. Parker Givens Professor of Optics, will work with Hartmut Roskos, a professor of physics at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt. Roskos, like Zhang, is an expert in terahertz physics and technology. Zhang plans to visit several other German research groups to discuss topics related to terahertz waves, nonlinear optics, and imaging.
