Biography
Prof. Zhou obtained his PhD degree in 2021 from Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HKPolyU), Master’s degree from Hunan University in 2017 and Bachelor from PLA university of Science and Technology in 2014. Zhou conducted his PhD attachment program in 2019 in Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands, under the supervision of Prof. Jan L.M. Hensen. He joined in Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2021. He was awarded the Best Paper Award in CUE2020: Applied Energy Symposium:¬Low carbon cities and urban energy systems, organized by Applied Energy journal. He has 3 highly cited papers (ESI 1%). He won the award ‘Outstanding PhD candidate in international conference on Energy and Built Environment’ in 2021. Dr. Zhou is invited as guest editor to launch a special issue ‘Energy Flexible Buildings with Energy Conversion and Management Technologies’ in the SCI journal, Applied Sciences, in 2021. Dr. Zhou was also invited to contribute chapters in 7 books (publishers: Elsevier, Springer and so on).
Dr. Zhou’s research aims at achieving smart zero-energy and zero-carbon district energy systems for carbon neutrality and climate change mitigation, via cleaner power production, energy-efficient system design and operation, innovation in smart energy integration, multi-objective optimization on nonlinear dynamic behaviours with artificial intelligence. Cross-disciplinary areas and multidisciplinary research with cutting-edge technologies are required, including materials engineering, chemical engineering, thermodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, renewable energy engineering, energy economics, and artificial intelligence. His current research interests include electrochemical battery, hydrogen and pumped hydro storages in zero-energy buildings, life-cycle carbon-neutral buildings, peer-to-peer energy trading and inter-city energy migration energy network with hydrogen economy.
Up until now, he has published over 35 SCI papers in high impact journals. He is currently serving as an editorial board member for Journal of Architectural Environment & Structural Engineering Research (JAESER). He also serves as reviewer for high-impact SCI journals, such as Nano Energy, Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, Applied Energy, Energy Conversion and Management; Journal of Cleaner Production, Sustainable City and Societies, Energy; Renewable Energy; Solar Energy; Building and Environment; Journal of Energy Storage, and so on.
