Zang graduated from Nanyang Technological University Singapore with Bachelor and Ph.D in Aerospace Engineering, where he worked on the fundamental aspects of flow dynamics in jets, vortex-rings and fluid-structure interactions. In 2018, he joined the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic research group in Bristol and has since worked as a post-graduate researcher and then a lecturer with the Aerospace department in Bristol. His research focuses on understanding of the aerodynamically generated noise mechanisms from aerofoils, cylinders and proprotors (in novel propulsion system) as well as the development of efficient noise reduction techniques. Besides the primary research work, he is also deeply interested in development and application of data-driven methods to fluids and aeroacoustics.
