Yaozhong Zhang
Research Engineer at Argonne National Laboratory
Chicago, Illinois, United States
Summary
🎓
Top SchoolYaozhong Zhang is a research engineer with 8 years of experience specializing in connected and automated vehicles, vehicle simulation, and energy-efficient control strategies. Based at Argonne National Laboratory, he develops large-scale CAV simulators and leads data-driven studies of vehicle and traffic energy efficiency using real-world driving data. His background blends automotive engineering and computer science—MS degrees from Clemson and Georgia Tech plus Udacity nanodegrees in self-driving and deep reinforcement learning—enabling him to bridge simulation, machine learning, and control. He has hands-on experience building 3D driving simulators, ADAS algorithms, and intelligent CAV controllers, and often focuses on pragmatic energy savings that scale to fleets and traffic networks. A less obvious strength is his consistent progression from research aide to lead engineer within the same national lab, demonstrating both technical depth and institutional impact.
