Zhang Jie

Dr. Zhang received her M. S. degree in Optics from Peking University, China, in 2004, and her Ph.D. degree in Optics from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany, in 2008. She continued her Postdoctoral research at Max-Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen, Germany for two more years. In 2010, she joined the Center for Gravitational Experiments, School of Physics, Huazhong University of Science and Technology as an Associate Professor. Her research interests are optical frequency standards, narrow linewidth ultra-stable lasers, frequency combs, and precision measurements.
