Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDetong Zhang is an R&D Principal Technologist based in Houston with over 20 years of hands-on experience building scientific and engineering software for Advanced Process Control, Real Time Optimization, process simulation and power grid analysis. He combines deep academic training (PhD in Numerical Analysis) with practical expertise in sparse linear algebra, nonlinear optimization, ODE/DAE/PDE solvers, MILP/MINLP and control algorithms, implemented across C++, C#, FORTRAN, Java and MATLAB. At Schneider Electric he leads RTO and simulation efforts (ROMeo, SimCentral) focusing on NLP and MINLP engines, while prior roles at ABB and Honeywell delivered mission-critical power flow, short-circuit and APC systems. Known for bridging rigorous numerical analysis and production-grade engineering, he routinely translates complex mathematical models into maintainable, high-performance code. A pragmatic problem-solver, he also brings a playful developer streak (self-described "字符串拼接工程师") that hints at a love for practical tooling and clever string-level automation.
