Xu Zhenpeng has joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University as a tenure-track assistant professor, departing from the US semiconductor sector. He was attracted to the university's strong reputation in manufacturing research and its industry connections.

Xu previously led a team at Atomic Semi, focusing on innovative 3D printing techniques to enhance chip production efficiency. His PhD from UCLA in 2023 and contributions to projects for the US Department of Energy and National Science Foundation underscore his expertise in large-area 3D printing. Xu's decision was influenced by limitations in international mobility within the US due to stringent policies.
