Early life and education

Zheng was born in China. She was an undergraduate student at Tianjin University, where she majored in materials science. She moved to the United States for graduate research and earned her doctorate at the University of Maryland, College Park.[1] She was supervised by Ramamoorthy Ramesh and Lourdes Salamanca-Riba.[1] After completing her doctorate, Zheng was appointed a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley.[2] She spent a year in Berkeley before joining the National Center for Electron Microscopy at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory where she worked alongside Paul Alivisatos.[3] During her postdoctoral research, she studied the growth of nanocrystals in solution. She showed that whilst some crystals grow steadily, via a process of nucleation and aggregation, others grow in spurts. This fits and spurts like growth is driven by coalescence events.[3]

Research and career

Zheng was appointed Staff Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. She was promoted to Senior Staff Scientist in 2018. She is as an Adjunct Professor at the University of California, Berkeley.[4] Her research considers materials transformations at the nanoscale, which she studies using liquid cell transmission electron microscopy and cryogenic electron microscopy. Zheng is particularly interested in solid-liquid interfaces.[5]
