Zhang’s research is in condensed matter theory, especially in the field of correlated electron systems such as high transition temperature superconducting copper oxides, quantum spin systems, and fractional quantum Hall effect. In recent years, Zhang’s research has also expanded into the field of spin electronics in semiconductors with spin orbit couplings. Zhang has broad knowledge and interests in condensed matter physics, a diversified subfield in physics, closely related to emerging electronics.
