Di Zhu received his PhD (2019) and MSc (2017) from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and BEng (2013) from Nanyang Technological University, all in electrical engineering. From 2019 to 2021, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University. His PhD thesis focused on superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors, and postdoc work centered around thin-film lithium niobate photonics. In 2021, he returned to Singapore and joined the Institute of Materials Research & Engineering at A*STAR as a research scientist and principal investigator. In September 2023, he joined the National University of Singapore as a Presidential Young Professor while keeping a joint appointment with A*STAR. Di was a recipient of the NRF Fellowship (Class 2023), Harvard Quantum Initiative (HQI) Postdoctoral Fellowship, A*STAR National Science Scholarship, and MIT Jin-Au Kong thesis award. His current research interests include integrated quantum photonics, applied superconductivity, and nanoscale electromagnetics.
