Xiao Zhang was born in Gaozhou, Guangdong, China. He received the B.Eng. degree in information engineering and the M.Eng. degree in communication and information systems from the South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China, in 2011 and 2014, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from University of Macau, Macau, SAR, China, in 2017.

From September 2012 to August 2014, he was a research assistant with Comba Telecom Systems Limited, Guangzhou, China. From January 2018 to March 2018, he was a research fellow with the Antenna and Electromagnetic-Wave Laboratory in University of Macau, Macau, SAR, China. In 2018, he joined the College of Electronics and Information Engineering, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen, China, where he is currently an associate professor. His research interests include high-gain antennas, wideband antennas, circularly-polarized antennas, terminal antennas, filtering antennas, reflectarray, and characteristic mode analysis.

Dr. Zhang was the recipient of the Scientific and Technological R&D Award for Postgraduates of Macau in 2018. He was recognized as the Shenzhen Overseas High Caliber Personnel Level C in 2018. He was recognized as the Top 2% Scientists in 2019 and 2022 by Elsevier. He also serves as a Reviewer for several journals, including the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION and the IEEE ANTENNAS AND WIRELESS PROPAGATION LETTERS.
