Prof. Jinwei Zhang received 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.
