Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZhihang Zhang is a Naval Architect and Ph.D. candidate based in Houston with nine years of experience developing high-fidelity numerical models and production-grade solvers for fluid-structure interactions. His work spans academic and industry settings—from building coupled FEM-CFD models of ship-ice interactions and high-order wave tanks to delivering custom hydrodynamic solvers for vehicle and aerosol transport problems used in COVID-19 decision support. Now at Chevron, he applies rigorous computational mathematics and practical code development to real-world offshore challenges, blending research depth with engineering pragmatism. Known for favoring precision over flashy optics—“stargaze with feet on ground”—he brings a curiosity-driven approach to reduce numerical dissipation and improve predictive fidelity in complex multiphysics simulations.
