Biography

Chenhui Zhu received his Ph.D. in 2009 from the University of Colorado at Boulder. His thesis projects include studies on polar orthogonal smectic liquid crystals and de Vries liquid crystals, supervised by Prof. Noel A. Clark. Since 2011, he is a postdoctoral researcher with Dr. Hoydoo You at the Argonne National Laboratory. His current project focuses on x-ray imaging.
