Biao Hu, received his B.S. in Physics from Lanzhou University, China, in July, 2002 and M.S. in Physics from Fudan University, China, in July, 2005. He came to the U.S. and started his graduate study in Department of Physics & Astronomy in The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee, in August 2005. In September 2009, he transferred to Department of Physics & Astronomy in Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to continue his doctoral program. He obtained his Doctor of Philosophy degree in physics in August, 2011. His thesis involved the study of structural and physical properties of transition metal oxide in bulk and surface. His thesis title is “Evolution of
Structural and Physical Properties of Transition Metal Oxide Sr₃(Ru₁-_xMn_x)₂O₇ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.7) with Mn Concentration”. His thesis work was done with Professor Rongying Jin (Co-advisor). His work was recognized by LSU Physics Department with the Ganesh Chanmugam Distinguished Dissertation Award.

After graduation he became a postdoctoral fellow in Professor Goodenough/Zhou group at The University of Texas at Austin. In 2012, he moved to Segate as a senior engineer. His updated CV(Rev. 8-15-12) is available here. Outside of physics, his hobbies are jogging, hiking, and playing badminton. He is also very interested in history, geography, and military science.
