Dr. Xichao Zhang is an Assistant Professor at Waseda University, Japan. He is a member of Prof. Masahito Mochizuki’s group and works in close collaboration with Dr. Xiuzhen Yu’s team at RIKEN. He received his Ph.D. from Shinshu University in 2018, and was a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellow (PD) at Shinshu University from 2020 to 2022. He also worked at the University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen). Dr. Zhang’s research interests lie in the general areas of nanomagnetism and spintronics, with a focus on the theoretical study of topological spin textures, spin dynamics, and frustrated spin systems. He also works on interdisciplinary topics such as the complex flow and transport phenomena of magnetic quasiparticles. Dr. Zhang has published more than 100 academic papers in peer-reviewed international journals, and his Google Scholar citations are above 8000 in July 2023. He is currently an Associate Editor of Frontiers in Physics and a Guest Editor of Magnetism. He also serves as a regular reviewer for over 20 international journals, including Physical Review journals and Nature-branded journals.
