Zhou Zebing

Doctor Zhou Zebing received his bachelor's degree in Electric Instrument from the Department of Electronic Engineering of Jianghan Petrol Institute, Hubei, China in 1995. He obtained the Master's degree in Theoretic Physics from the Department of Physics at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), Wuhan, China in 1998, and his Ph.D. degree in Structure Engineering from Institute of Civil Engineering and Mechanics of HUST, Wuhan, China in 2001. He joined the Department of Physics of HUST from 1998, and now he is a Professor in the School of Physics, HUST. He has started a series of research programs sponsored by NSFC. His research interests include vibration isolation, test of equivalence principle, space inertial sensors and their applications in the fields of satellite gravity measurement and gravitational experiments, such as gravitational wave detection.
