Assistant Professor, School of Information Science and Technology, ShanghaiTech University
Zhifeng Zhu received the B.Sc. degree from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in 2014. He received the PhD degree from National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2019. He joined the School of Information Science and Technology at ShanghaiTech University as an Assistant Professor in 2020. His research focus on the theoretical and numerical study of novel spintronic devices and circuits for the application of MRAM, in-memory computing, and bio-inspired computing. As the PI, he has obtained competitive research grants from National Natural Science Foundation of China, Shanghai Natural Science Foundation, and Shanghai Sailing Program. As the corresponding author, he has published high quality papers in Phys. Rev. Lett. (1), Sci. Bull. (1), ACS Nano (1), Phys. Rev. B (5), Appl. Phys. Lett. (4) in the last 3 years. He has also served as the reviewer for Phys. Rev. Lett., Nat. Commun., IEEE Trans. Circuits Syst. I,II, IEEE Electron Devices Lett., etc. As of April 2026, he has supervised 6 master's students and 9 undergraduate students’ final-year project. 2 of my PhD students received National PhD Scholarship (top 2%). They also received China Scholarship Council (CSC) funding for a 6-month visiting study at National University of Singapore (NUS). My students have received Merit Student Award (top 5%) for 7 times, and Outstanding Student Award (top 10%) for 6 times. 5 of them received Outstanding Graduate of ShanghaiTech University.
