Prof. Zonglong Zhu serves as the Chair Professor of Chemistry and Photovoltaic Technology in the Department of Chemistry at the City University of Hong Kong. Prior to this role, he was an Associate Professor (2023–2025) and an Assistant Professor (2018–2023) at the same institution. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2015, following a Bachelor of Science degree from Nanjing University in 2010. After completing his Ph.D., Prof. Zhu pursued postdoctoral research at the University of Washington, Seattle.
Prof. Zhu is an accomplished researcher, having published over 150 SCI-indexed publications, which have collectively garnered more than 20,000 citations. His portfolio includes 200 articles in prestigious, top-tier journals, with impactful contributions to the journal Science and Nature. He has authored more than 75 publications as the corresponding author and has 29 Highly Cited Papers. Recognized for his significant contributions, Prof. Zhu was named a Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher (Cross-Field) for three consecutive years (2022–2024). Additionally, he has been consistently ranked among Stanford University's top 2% of highly cited scientists worldwide from 2021 to 2024. Prof. Zhu's accolades include the RGC Research Fellow Award and the NSFC Excellent Young Scientists Fund (Hong Kong and Macau).
