Her research examines market dynamics in energy and transportation sectors, with focus areas including:
- Environmental regulation impacts on industrial innovation
- Consumer and firm responses to energy policies
- Technological adoption in transportation systems
- Labor market implications of energy transitions
Zhou's publications demonstrate methodological innovation in causal inference and structural modeling applied to vehicle markets, air transportation efficiency, and regional economic impacts of environmental policies. She has secured research funding from the NSF, BBSRC, and NBER for projects on clean energy transitions and work transformation.
