Chao Hang received his B.S. in 2002 and Ph.D. degree in 2007 from Department of Physics at East China Normal University. Then he spent three years as a postdoc fellow in Center of Theoretical and Computational Physics at University of Lisbon. In 2007, he joined State Key Laboratory of Precision Spectroscopy at East China Normal University as Lecturer, where he became Associate Professor in the end of 2011 and Professor in the end of 2017.

Dr. Hang focuses his research in nonlinear and quantum optics and nonlinear waves in Bose-Einstein condensates.
