Dr Zhongming Zhang
International Lecturer in Electronic EngineeringProfile
Dr Zhongming Zhang is an International Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Electronic Engineering at Lancaster University.
Dr Zhang's research focuses on developing neutron detectors for extreme detection environments. Besides, because extreme situations can cause intense signal noise and severely affect pulse, how to analyse signals in extreme environments is another aspect of his research.
Research Interests
Monte Carlo simulation, Neutron detection, Semiconductor neutron detectors.
Career Details
International Lecturer in Electronic Engineering, August 2022- present.

Lancaster University College at Beijing Jiaotong University (LUC-BJTU) is a joint institute established near Weihai, Shandong province, China.
I currently am a teaching assistant for three undergraduate modules at the LUC-BJTU institute for the Electronics and Communications Engineering degree programme.
Research and Development Engineer, March 2019-May 2019.
Details: Neuboron Ltd., Nanjing, China.
I was involved in a project to develop a new Monte Carlo simulation software. The first part of the project is to calculate the neutron flux distribution of a point source at a specific volume in a vacuum environment. This part was done by me using Fortran alone, and it passed the error test relative to MCNP.
