Detail
Prof. Zhang received his Ph.D. degree in Tottori University of Japan in 2005 and worked as visiting Associate Professor and Research Fellow of Japan Society for the Promotion of Science from 2006 to 2008. He also worked as Research Associate in Washington State University from 2008 to 2010. He was promoted to full Professor in Shanghai Jiaotong University in 2011.

Prof. Zhang has conducted many applied and basic researches on hormones on reproductive and fruit development in tree fruit species. In recent years, he had a deep involvement of gibberellins on carbon partitioning, fruit quality and sink strength in pear and sweet cherry. As a scientist in Pomology, he also contributed a lot on orchard production system, abiotic stress, and fruit domestication.

Prof. Zhang has published 3 books, more than 30 international conference papers and 50 peer-reviewed articles, over 20 of which are in international journals, and obtained 7 Chinese and US patents. He has been selected and supported by the Program for New Century Excellent Talents in University of China in 2010. His group is pushing the researches in tree fruit physiology with the omics technology and low chilling sweet cherry breeding and production in warm regions.
