Prediction and Validation Technologies of Aerodynamic Force and Heat for Hypersonic Vehicle Design

Dr. Min Zhao works at the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT). He began his career at the CALT as an engineer for overall rocket design. He has since successively worked as a research engineer, a senior engineer, a research fellow, a department leader and a chief engineer at the CALT. He also completed his Ph.D. in 2005. He has been engaged in the overall design of aerospace craft for the past 30 years, gathering unique insights into aircraft performance. He has been selected for the National Prize for Progress in Science and Technology (Top Grade) twice, and the Aerospace Merit Award once. Thanks to the support of Tsinghua University, the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamic, Institute of Mechanics (CAS) and the CALT, he has conducted extensive research on engineering application technologies.
