Zhong Zhou

Zhong Zhou is a highly experienced technical advisor specializing in computational mechanics, currently employed at Halliburton since July 2017. Previous positions include Principal Mechanical Engineer, where expertise in solid mechanics and finite element analysis (FEA) was leveraged for the design verification and optimization of completion tools. Academic experience includes serving as a Research Scientist at the University of Texas at Dallas, where significant contributions involved finite element simulations related to fatigue and laser shock peening, and as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Cincinnati and Oklahoma State University, focusing on nonlinear material responses and viscoelastic properties. Zhong Zhou's early research work at the University of Science and Technology of China included developing advanced constitutive models for geological materials. Educational credentials include a Ph.D. in Engineering Mechanics and a B.S. in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from the University of Science and Technology of China.
