Dr Jian-Xin Zhu obtained his PhD from the University of Hong Kong in 1997. He is presently a staff member of the Theoretical Division,  Los Alamos National Laboratory, and also a Partner Science Leader in the thrust of Theory and Simulation of Nanoscale Phenomena of the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT), a U.S. DOE BES user facility. Dr Zhu, who was awarded the LANL Postdoctoral Distinguished Performance Award in 2003, is an internationally known expert on the theory of superconductivity and on electronic structure in strongly correlated systems, with a particular focus on the theoretical analysis of scanning tunneling microscopy and photoemission spectroscopy measurements.

“The lecture notes discuss the Bogoliubov-de-Gennes (BdG) method and its applications in superconductivity. … The book will be useful for gradient students and all those interested in moderate problems of superconductivity.” (Ivan A. Parinov, zbMATH 1361.82007, 2017)
