BIO Statement


Prof. B.-B. Zhang got his Ph.D. from the University of Nevada Las Vegas. After serving three Postdocs at Penn State, the University of Alabama in Huntsville, and The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalucia in Spain, he moved back to Nanjing University as a professor. With many frontline working experiences in the NASA Swift and Fermi team, Binbin's research interest mainly focuses on data-oriented research on Gamma-ray Bursts and related high-energy astrophysics. He has published more than 100 journal papers, included several in Nature and Science, with a total citation of more than 7000 and an H-index of 40.
