Dr. Yaoxin Zhang earned his Doctor of Philosophy in Computational Hydroscience in 2004 from the National Center for Computational Hydroscience and Engineering (NCCHE) at The University of Mississippi. Currently he is working as a Research Scientist at NCCHE. His areas of study include mesh generation (Structured and Unstructured), Graphical Users Interface (GUI) development, hydrodynamic modeling, coastal modeling, parallel computing, flow simulation, flood modeling, and sediment transport simulation. He has developed two software packages – CCHE-GUI and CCHE-MESH (2D Mesh Generator) – which are important modules of a leading state-of-art two-dimensional numerical simulation system (CCHE2D Modeling system) that has been widely deployed around the world.
