Qian Zhang is an Associate Professor at Jinan University, Guangzhou, China, and a current Visiting Fellow (2024-2025) at Yale University. She earned her PhD in Chinese Linguistics and Philology from Sun Yat-sen University in 2014 and is a native Hakka speaker. Her research spans two distinct domains: Linguistics : Focuses on Phonetics and Phonology of Chinese dialects, particularly Hakka. She collaborates with Jason Shaw at the Yale Phonetics Lab on acoustic and articulatory analysis of Hakka vowels, leveraging native-speaker expertise. Seismology : Maintains an active publication record in earthquake simulation and dynamic rupture modeling, with 21 articles from 2014-2025 covering computational methods for seismic hazard assessment. Her research interests include Chinese Linguistics, Phonetics, Phonology, Dialectology, Seismology, Earthquake Simulation, and Computational Geophysics. Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2019-2025) reveals heavy emphasis on computational techniques: curved grid finite-difference methods, nodal discontinuous Galerkin approaches, and GPU acceleration applied to major earthquakes (e.g., 2023 Kahramanmaraş, 2008 Wenchuan). Key themes include rupture propagation across step-overs, 3D basin effects on ground motion, and Bayesian optimization of fault parameters. Her work bridges high-performance computing with practical seismic hazard challenges. No scientific awards or student advisement details are mentioned in the scraped text. Her primary affiliation is Jinan University, with current research hosted by the Yale Phonetics Lab during her visiting fellowship.
