Bing Zhang

Prof. Bing Zhang is a Chair Professor and Global STEM Scholar at the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, The University of Hong Kong. His research focuses on theoretical astrophysics, particularly high-energy phenomena such as Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), fast radio bursts (FRBs), neutron stars, and black holes, with an emphasis on understanding the physical mechanisms behind relativistic jets and multi-messenger signals.

• Primary Research Themes: High-energy astrophysics, Gamma-ray bursts, Fast radio bursts, Multi-messenger astronomy, Magnetic reconnection, Relativistic jets
• Affiliation: Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, The University of Hong Kong

His publications reveal a trajectory from foundational work on GRBs to pioneering studies on FRBs. Key contributions include monographs on GRB physics (2018) and FRBs (2023), alongside seminal papers on jet dynamics, magnetic reconnection models, and neutrino emission mechanisms. The work bridges theoretical modeling with multi-messenger observations, particularly through Swift satellite data analysis.
