Professor Xiaolin Zhong received his Ph.D. degree in aeronautics and astronautics from Stanford University in 1991, under the supervision of Professors Robert MacCormack and Dean Chapman. His Ph.D. thesis was on the numerical simulations of rarefied hypersonic flows. Since 1991, he has been a faculty member in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at UCLA, first as an assistant professor (1991-1997), later an associate professor (1997-2001), and currently a full professor (2001-present). His main research areas are computational fluid dynamics, hypersonic flows, development of new high-order numerical methods for hypersonic flow simulations; numerical simulation of hypersonic boundary layer receptivity, stability, and transition, numerical simulation of real-gas hypersonic flow, hypersonic ablation, and strong shock/turbulence interaction, and the development of high-order immersed interface method for multi-phase flow simulations. His current research projects are supported by NASA, DOE, and AFOSR. He has published 120 papers on his research. He was awarded the Allied Signal Faculty Research Award by the UCLA Engineering School in 1996. He is an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and a member of the American Physical Society. He has been an Associate Editor for the AIAA Journal since 2005.
