Biography of Lin Zhou
Lin Zhou received his BS in 1989 from Xian Jiaotong University. After
working as a mechanical engineer in an engine plant for one year, he returned
to Xian Jiaotong University and got his MS in 1993 in the field of tribology of
ceramics. He then studied in the Department of Materials Science at Tsinghua
University as a Ph.D. candidate in the field of thin film physics. After one
year, he obtained a scholarship from Japanese government and joined the
Tribology Laboratory at Tohoku University in 1994. He restarted his Ph.D.
program in 1995 under the direction of Prof. K. Kato in the field of
micro-tribology for magnetic recording. His Ph.D. research was in cooperation
with Hitachi Ltd. Japan. He received his Ph.D. degree in 1999. After working as
a research associate for about one year in Tohoku University, he then joined
the Mechanics and Tribology Laboratory of Prof. Talke at Center for Magnetic
Recording Research (CMRR) at UCSD. Dr. Zhou’s research interests are in the
area of tribology of the head/disk interface of hard disk drives, specifically,
on the tribology of textured sliders under near contact situations.
