Peng Xiong received his B.Sc. in Physics from University of Science and Technology of China in July 1987. He received his Ph.D.in Physics from Brown University in September 1993, with a thesis covering topics of high temperature superconductivity, magnetic granular solids, and mesoscale superconductivity. He then spent the next four years as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California at San Diego, performing research in superconductor-insulator transition and fluctuation effects in two- and one-dimensional systems. He joined the Physics faculty of the Florida State University in November of 1997. He is a member of the Center for Materials Research and Technology (MARTECH). He was a recipient of the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship (1998), University Teaching Award (FSU, 2003), and PAI Award for Excellence in Research and Teaching (FSU, 2004).
