Dr. Sheng Zhang is an associate professor at the School of Human Settlements and Civil Engineering, Xi'an Jiaotong University, supported by the Top Young Talents Programme of Xi'an Jiaotong University, and the High-level Talent Programme of Shaanxi Province. Dr. Sheng Zhang graduated from Zhejiang University with a B.Eng. and from City University of Hong Kong with a Ph.D.. Dr. Sheng Zhang's research interests are Environment and Sustainability: energy-efficient technologies for thermally comfortable and healthy built environments. Adaptive-rational thermal comfort models have been proposed to capture the thermal comfort demand of occupants, and advanced air distribution has been optimally designed and controlled to satisfy thermal comfort demand with quality indoor air and low airborne infection risk energy-efficiently. The solar-driven ejector cooling system has been improved to efficiently use thermal energy via design and control optimizations. Renewable energy systems have been robustly designed for nearly/net zero energy buildings constrained by multi-criteria. Based on the abovementioned studies, Dr. Sheng Zhang has published more than 60 JCR Q1 SCI papers, as the first author/corresponding author of more than 50 SCI papers, and 20 invention patents of China.
