Jun Zhang is a Professor of Physics and Mathematics at NYU Shanghai and at NYU's campus in New York City. Since 2001 he has been the Co-Director of the Applied Math Laboratory in the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. in physics from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen.
Professor Zhang’s research interests include the physics of fluids, which covers biomechanics and bio-locomotion (organisms swimming, walking and flying), geophysical fluids (thermal convection, continental dynamics), solid-on-solid friction, and self-organized phenomena at different scales.
