Jingzhou (Frank) Zhao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Binghamton University. He holds a BS from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (2011), an MS from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2013), and a PhD from UCLA (2017). His research focuses on solidification nanomanufacturing, interfacial transport dynamics, in-situ sensing systems, and high-temperature thermal energy storage materials, with applications in energy and sustainability. He previously directed the Advanced Manufacturing and Materials Processing Laboratory at Western New England University.
Key research interests include applied machine learning for process modeling, development of scalable manufacturing techniques for nanomaterials, and thermal analysis of phase change materials. His work integrates experimental methods with computational tools like convolutional neural networks to optimize manufacturing processes.
Prior to his current role, he contributed to thin-film sensor technologies for in-situ temperature measurement in lithium-ion batteries and ultrasonic welding systems. His lab emphasizes both fundamental and applied research, addressing challenges in energy storage, materials processing, and advanced manufacturing systems.
