C.Q. Zhang (full name: Cun-Quan Zhang) was Eberly Distinguished Professor [1] at West Virginia University, is a mathematician working mainly in graph theory. He received his Ph.D. (mathematics) in 1986 from Simon Fraser University, under the supervision of Brian Alspach. [2]
Cun-Quan Zhang does not have undergraduate education due to Cultural Revolution in China. In 1978, the first year of the return of the Nationwide Entrance Examination for Admissions to Chinese Universities and Colleges (Gaokao in Chinese), he took Graduate Program Admission Exam, and was admitted by Qufu Normal University. In 1981, he earned his M.Sc. (Operational Research) with his dissertation under the supervision of Prof. Yongjin Zhu in Chinese Academy of Sciences. After a brief employment in Chinese Academy of Sciences, he was admitted by Simon Fraser University in 1982, earned his Ph.D. (mathematics) in 1986 under the supervision of Prof. Brian Alspach.
In 1987, Zhang joined the faculty of West Virginia University, where he was promoted to Associate Professor in 1989 and Professor in 1996 and Eberly Distinguished Professor in 2009.
His research accomplishments in mathematics were recognized with his appointment as an Eberly Distinguished Professor at West Virginia University. [1]
C.Q. Zhang is a mathematician who has contributed to nowhere-zero flow, cycle double cover, and Hamiltonian cycle in graph theory.
