معرفی
Dr. Xi Zou is a Lecturer in Aerospace Engineering at Swansea University since May 2023. He holds a PhD from the University of Pavia and Polytechnical University of Catalonia via the Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate fellowship. Previously, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Nottingham and a Stress Engineer at Airbus China. His expertise includes finite element methods, mesh generation, reduced order modelling, and composite structures analysis.
- Education: BSc in Spacecraft Design (Beihang University), MSc in Mechanics (Beihang University), PhD in Engineering (Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate)
His research focuses on advancing numerical methods for structural analysis, particularly in composite materials and airframe structures. Recent work includes developing NURBS-enhanced finite element meshes and efficient damage hotspot identification tools. He has published widely in journals like Computer-Aided Design and International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering.
Dr. Zou has supervised MSc projects exploring expandable space modules using origami principles. He actively collaborates with industry and teaches modules such as Engineering Mathematics and Finite Element Analysis.
