Dr. Weigang Lu is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Baylor University and is originally from China. Dr. Lu completed his Bachelor’s and PhD degrees at Lanzhou University, China in 1996 and 2001, respectively. From 2001 to 2002, Dr. Lu held a postdoctoral associate position at the Institute of Physics in the University of Basel, Switzerland. He held a postdoctoral scientist position at the Advanced Materials Research Institute of the University of New Orleans from 2002 to 2006. He was a visiting scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, WA from 2005 to 2007. Dr. Lu then became a research associate at Baylor University in 2010 and joined the Solouki group in November of 2013.
