Basic Information

Dr. Zhang Cheng is an associate professor in Peking University. He obtained his B.Sc. from Shannxi Normal University in 2003 and Ph.D in 2010 in Peking university. In 2010 and 2014, he worked at Purdue university (Chengde Mao’s group) and Arizona state university respectively as a visiting researcher. In recent years, he focused on the frontier area of DNA assembly, molecular circuit based computing and programming, DNA origami assisted nanopore, nano information processing, nanoparticle based molecular design and engineering, and nano information processing.

The goal of his research is utilizing molecular programming and assembling to systematically manipulate the matter at the molecular scale, for applications in nano-engineering and sensing, molecular computing, nanopore sensing, nanotechnology and biomedicine. For instance, design and establish molecular logic circuits, chemical reaction networks for computation and DNA origami based nano-devices; design DNA origami based nanopore detection system. He has served in various international conferences including DNA16, DNA23, BIC-ta (2008-2014). Moreover, He was awarded Natural Science Award of the Ministry of Education in China in 2012.
