Biography

Donna Sheng received her B.A. degree (1984) and Ph.D. in physics (1989) from Nanjing University in China. She was a Postdoctoral Fellow in condensed matter theory at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Chinese Academy of Science, from 1989 to 1990. Dr. Sheng was a Research Scientist in condensed matter theory from 1990 until 2000 in the C. S. Ting group at the Texas Center for Superconductivity at the University of Houston. She became an Assistant Professor of Physics at California State University Northridge in 2000, an Associate Professor of Physics in 2004, and a Professor of Physics in 2007. Dr. Sheng has published more than 160 research papers, with more than 40 published in high-impact research journals, including Phys. Rev. X, Phys. Rev. Lett., Nature, and Science. She has received more than 9700 citations with an h-index of 52. Based on her research contributions to the field, she was selected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2013. Her synergistic activities include serving as a team member of the Princeton Center for Complex Materials, a senior investigator of the Princeton NSF MRSEC grant, and co-PI of the PREM project for training minority students. She is Co-PI of the NSF PREP award (CSUN/Cal Tech-IQIM Partnership).
