Zhenxing Feng received his B.S. degree in Physics with honors from Peking University, Beijing, China in 2004. He obtained M.S. in Physics from McGill University, Montreal, Canada in 2006, and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Northwestern University, USA in 2011. Then he spent two years at Electrochemical Energy Lab of Mechanical Engineering Department at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for his postdoctoral trainings from 2011 to 2013. After working in Joint Center for Energy Storage Research (JCESR) and Chemical Science and Engineering Division of Argonne National Lab for nearly 3 years (2013-2016) in advanced battery research, he moved to Oregon State University (OSU) as an Assistant Professor in School of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering and promoted to the Associate Professor in 2021. He also holds a joint position in Materials Science program of OSU.
