Chi Zhang

I am a fifth-year PhD candidate from Dr. El-Halwagi’s group at the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering, Texas A&M University. My research is in the area of process systems engineering, which focuses on process design and integration, mathematical modeling and optimization. I have experience in optimization theory and algorithms, mathematical programming, and supply chain optimization. I have a strong background in process safety and quantitative risk analysis, where I hold the Safety Engineering Certificate from the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center. I am also interested in data analysis and machine learning. I have performed various analysis techniques and regression studies on extensive data sets in my research. I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin – Madison with double majors in chemical engineering and mathematics.
