Top SchoolMichael Zhang is a senior data architect and Ph.D. computer scientist with nine years in data architecture roles and over two decades building high-performance systems across finance, national labs, and telecom.

Known as a technical leader and reliable problem-solver, he has led teams to deliver efficient, bug-free data transformations and secure client-server middleware. At Argonne National Laboratory he applies these skills to data mining and enterprise BI, bringing research-grade rigor from his doctoral training to practical, on-time implementations.
