Biography:Donna Sheng
Don-Ning "Donna" Sheng is a condensed matter physicist whose research involves two-dimensional systems including the fractional quantum Hall effect and quantum spin Hall effect,[1] as well as the natural emergence of supersymmetry in topological superconductors.[2] She is a professor of physics at California State University, Northridge,[3] and is also affiliated with the Princeton Center for Complex Materials at Princeton University.[4]
Education and career
Sheng earned a bachelor's degree in 1984 and a Ph.D. in 1989 from Nanjing University. She joined the faculty at California State University, Northridge in 2000,[3] after working as a researcher in the Texas Center for High Temperature Superconductivity at the University of Houston since 1990.[5]
At California State University, Northridge, more than half of the students are female, and in 2014 80% of the honors students from science and mathematics were female. As part of the university's system of encouragement for women in STEM fields, Sheng runs a support group for female physics majors.[6]
Recognition
In 2012, California State University, Northridge gave Sheng their Preeminent Scholarly Publications Award.[1] In 2013, she was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), after a nomination from the APS Division of Condensed Matter Physics, "for insights into topological and strongly correlated phases of matter using computational methods".[7]
