Prof. Jinwei Zhang received the B.S. degree from the Beijing Institute of Technology in 2009, and the Ph.D. degree from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2015. Under the supervision of Prof. Zhiyi Wei, he developed the interest in solid-state lasers. From 2015 to 2019, he was a Postdoctoral Scientist with Prof. Ferenc Krausz at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, where he started to explore various techniques on thin-disk lasers. He joined Huazhong University of Science and Technology as a full professor in 2019. In recent years, he has published a number of papers in the journals such as Nature Photonics, Light: Science and Applications, Laser & Photonics Reviews, Optics Letters, Optics Express and IEEE JSTQE. He was also invited to present his work at CLEO and CLEO-Europe conferences. His current research interests include high-power ultrafast 1- and 2-μm thin-disk lasers and their applications in the mid-infrared generation.
