| Prof. Zhi Zong, Fuyao University of Science and Technology, ChinaVice President of Liaoning Shipbuilding Society Biography: Zong Zhi is a professor at Fuyao University of Science and Technology. He obtained his Ph.D. in Ship Engineering from Hiroshima University in Japan in 1995. Afterward, he joined the Singapore Institute of High Performance Computing as a senior and chief research engineer, focusing on underwater explosion and computational mechanics research. In 2004, he joined Dalian University of Technology in China as a professor. Professor Zong has served as the dean of the School of Ship Engineering and the deputy director of the National Laboratory for Structural Analysis of Industrial Equipment. He is currently employed at Fuyao University of Science and Technology. He is also a member of the editorial boards of more than ten international and local journals. He has published over 340 papers, of which 190 are included in the SCI database. He has authored seven monographs, three of which were published by Elsevier, CRC, and Lambert Academic. Professor Zong is actively engaged in research areas such as fluid mechanics, computational mechanics, and ocean engineering. He discovered the splash resistance of trimaran vessels and a new form of solitary waves. He developed a variable topology boundary element method to simulate the jet formation after bubble collapse, which is widely used in underwater explosion research. He has also improved the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and Discrete Vortex Method to achieve better simulation results for water wave evolution, ship motion in waves, impacts, water entry, and vortex-induced vibrations. He has received multiple awards, including first and second prizes for technological advancement from the Ministry of Education and several awards from the Ocean Engineering Consulting Association.
