 Keke Zhang, obtained his B.Sc. from University of Nanjing, China, and his PhD from UCLA, USA, is the author of over 160 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals including Nature, Science, Physical Review Letter,  

  Physical Review, Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Physics of Fluid, Journal of Geophysical Research, Geophysical Research Letters, Astrophysical Journal, MNRS, Icarus. A Cambridge University Monograph, Theory and Modeling of Wave and Convection in Rotating Fluids (about 600 pages), will be published by Cambridge University Press. Keke Zhang is also Fellow of American Geophysical Union and Fellow of Royal Astronomical Socienty. He received the 2013 Royal Astronomical Society  (Group) Achievement Award and has served as an Editor-in-Chief for Journal of Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors (Impact factor 2.5) in 2004—2014. Supported by the NSFC research grants, Keke Zhang has collaborated, via spending 4-5 months each year in China, with his SHAO co-workers over the past decade.
