Personal profile

Profile

Dr Zhongming Zhang is an International Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at Lancaster University. 

Dr Zhang's research focuses on developing neutron detectors for extreme detection environments. Besides, because extreme situations can cause intense signal noise and severely affect pulse, how to analyse signals in extreme environments is another aspect of his research.

Research Interests

Monte Carlo simulation, Neutron detection, Semiconductor neutron detectors, Blockchain application in Nuclear engineering. I warmly welcome students interested in research collaboration, as well as visiting scholars and faculty members who wish to apply for academic visits. Please feel free to contact me for further information or potential cooperation opportunities.

 

Career Details

International Lecturer, August 2024- present.

 

Details: Lancaster University, Engineering Department.

 

I am teaching three undergraduate modules at the LUC-BJTU institute for the Electronics and Communications Engineering degree programme.

 

Teaching Assistant in Digital Engineering (LUC-BJTU), September 2019- 2024.

 

Details: Lancaster University, Engineering Department.

 

Lancaster University College at Beijing Jiaotong University (LUC-BJTU) is a joint institute established near Weihai, Shandong province, China.

 

I currently am a teaching assistant for three undergraduate modules at the LUC-BJTU institute for the Electronics and Communications Engineering degree programme.

 

Research and Development Engineer, March 2019-May 2019.

 

Details: Neuboron Ltd., Nanjing, China.

 

I was involved in a project to develop a new Monte Carlo simulation software. The first part of the project is to calculate the neutron flux distribution of a point source at a specific volume in a vacuum environment. This part was done by me using Fortran alone, and it passed the error test relative to MCNP.

Research Interests

Wide-bandgap semiconductor radiation detectors

Polycrystalline oxide detectors

Novel radiation detection technologies

Monte Carlo simulation

Molecular dynamics simulation

Multiscale radiation damage simulation
