Senior🎓
Top SchoolChen Zhang is an R&D Associate Staff scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with 12 years of experience bridging computational micromechanics and neutron diffraction software development. Holding a Ph.D. in Materials Science from Michigan State University, he applies finite element analysis and crystal plasticity methods alongside production-grade Python, C++, and FORTRAN code to accelerate 3D characterization and data reduction workflows. His background includes postdoctoral work at Colorado School of Mines and Carnegie Mellon on high-throughput X-ray diffraction and microstructure reconstruction, and a visiting stint at the Max-Planck Institute focused on DAXM-driven CPFE studies. Known for turning complex scattering and microstructure data into reproducible simulation pipelines, he combines deep domain expertise with practical software engineering to deliver tools used in neutron diffraction analysis.
