Hongwei Zhang has over 10 years of work experience. In 2021, they began working as a Senior Staff Engineer for Kneron. Prior to this, they were a Senior Software Engineer for Nordson YESTECH from 2018-2021, a Vision Engineer for Cohu Semiconductor Equipment Group from 2014-2018, a Researcher for the University of Southern California from 2014-2018, a Graduate Student in Computer Science for the University of Southern California from 2012-2014, a Software Engineer Intern for MSC Software from 2013-2014, an Associate Professor for Tianjin University from 2009-2012, and a Research Fellow for the University of Michigan from 2007-2009 and The University of Arizona from 2006-2007. During their time as a Research Fellow, they successfully designed, introduced and transformed new sensor technology to core industry partners, and developed non-destructive methodologies and prototypes. Additionally, they developed algorithms for big data processing and pattern analysis upon a multi-channel data acquisition system using network and multi-thread programming, and delivered a well-designed GUI system to companies. Hongwei also developed and implemented an embedded micro-controller driven robotic system to produce a virtual 3D tactile display, which included real-time acquisition of dynamic signals from electromagnetic sensors and manipulation of micro-actuators for human touch feeling. Hongwei utilized visual C++ to make GUI application for real-time signaling and controlling.

Hongwei Zhang holds a Master of Science in Computer Science from the University of Southern California, a Ph.D in Instrumentation Engineering from Tianjin University, and a B.S. in Instrumentation Engineering with a minor in Electrical Engineering from Tianjin University.
