Neutron Scattering for Quantum Biology Group at CityU

Prof. Xiang-qiang (Rosie) Chu received her B.S. and M.S. degrees in Physics from Peking University, and her Ph.D. in Nuclear Science and Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2010. After two years of postdoctoral research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), she joined the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Wayne State University, USA, as an Assistant Professor in August 2012. She was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2017 before she was awarded the “1000 Young Talents Plan” of China and joined the Graduate School of China Academy of Engineering Physics (GSCAEP) as a Professor. She joined the City University of Hong Kong as an Associate Professor with tenure in 2022. Her research interests focus on probing the conformation and dynamics of biomolecules, nano-materials, and their interactions with water through neutron and X-ray scattering techniques. She is a member of the CityU Center for Neutron Scattering (CNS), and has been a review panelist for many national facilities, such as ANSTO (Australia), ISIS (UK), ORNL (USA), CSNS(China Spallation Neutron Source), and SSRF (Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility).
