Zhang Chaoqun, Male, born in 1986. Graduated from East China Normal University in June 2007 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electronic Information Science and Technology. Subsequently pursued a Ph.D. at the School of Information Science and Technology, Sun Yat-sen University, during which he was sponsored by the China Scholarship Council to study at the University of Houston, USA. Graduated in 2014 with a Ph.D. in Radio Physics from Sun Yat-sen University. Joined Nanchang University in October 2014 and is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electronic Information Engineering, School of Information Engineering, Nanchang University, and a "215 Ganjiang Young Scholar" of Nanchang University. Mainly teaches undergraduate and graduate courses including Electromagnetic Field Theory, Microwave Technology and Antennas, and Signals and Systems.

Since his doctoral studies, he has been engaged in research on antenna theory and design, conducting extensive fundamental research and accumulating rich experience in the theoretical analysis and design of microstrip antennas and leaky-wave antennas. He has a deep understanding of the radiation mechanisms of 1-D and 2-D leaky waves, and has published papers in high-level international journals recognized by peers. His current research focuses on planar antennas and arrays, periodic structures and metamaterial antennas, and millimeter-wave antenna design and analysis.

Also dabbles in deep neural network‑based image recognition and microcontroller systems.
