About
ZHENG Meiling received dual doctoral degrees in Science and Engineering from Osaka University (2009) and the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (2010), respectively. She once worked as a Senior Visiting Scholar at Osaka University, Japan. Her long-term research focuses on functional materials and methodologies for ultrafast laser micro/nanofabrication.
As the principal investigator, she has presided over numerous research projects funded by the MoST, NSFC, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Beijing Municipal Science & Technology Commission. She has published 140 papers in journals including Nature Communications, Nano Letters, Advanced Functional Materials, and Small, among which 90 are first-author or corresponding-author papers and 5 are cover articles. She has contributed three chapters to English monographs and filed 20 patents, including 9 granted Chinese patents and 4 granted international patents.
