Chen Zhou received his Bachelor degree from the physics school at Peking University in 2010 and his PhD degree from the physics department at Duke University in 2016. From June 2016 to Sep 2021, he was a postdoctoral research associate and an assistant scientist in the physics department at University of Wisconsin. Chen Zhou joined the physics school at Peking University as an assistant professor in October 2021. He is recruiting undergraduate students, PhD students and postdoctoral researchers.

Chen Zhou has long been engaged in the frontier research of Experimental High Energy Physics at the Large Hadron Collider (2011-2021: ATLAS experiment, 2021-: CMS experiment) and has obtained major achievements in research on Higgs physics, searches for new physics phenomena, detector upgrades, and applications of quantum computing to High Energy Physics research. He gave a CERN seminar that reports the observation of ttH (Higgs boson production in association with a pair of top quarks) on behalf of the ATLAS Collaboration. He has taken academic leadership positions, including the convener of the Higgs-Gamma Working Group of the ATLAS experiment.
