Professor Xin Zhang is the Airbus Professor of Aircraft Engineering and the director of the Airbus Noise Technology Centre at University of Southampton, UK.
He holds a Ph.D degree in fluid mechanics from the Cambridge University, UK and B.Eng in aerospace engineering from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China. He is a fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society and associated fellow of American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Professor Zhang's main research interests are in the areas of aircraft noise, unsteady aerodynamics, computational aeroacoustics, ground effect and racing car aerodynamics, and flow control. He has conducted studies of airframe noise including high-lift devices, landing gears and bluff bodies, self-sustained fluid flow oscillations, turbulent flow control through streamwise vortices and plasma actuation, flow control jets, engine and duct acoustics, etc.
He is the principal investigator of a number of research projects funded by the UK government, European Commission, and aerospace and motor-racing industries, and has acted as a consultant for a number of industrial companies.
