Biographical Sketch

 

Zuomin Dong received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University at Buffalo, the State University of New York, in 1989 and immediately joined the faculty of the University of Victoria. Served as the Chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering for over ten years, he is a Professor and a member of the Institute for Integrated Energy Systems at the University of Victoria. Dr. Dong is also a Professional Engineer registered in British Columbia and a Fellow of CSME. 

 

Dr. Dong's research expertise and interests include: 

 

• modelling, design and control optimizations of hybrid electric vehicles, marine vessels, and hydrogen fuel cell systems; 

• metamodel-based global optimization algorithms for solving complex virtual model-based optimization problems; 

• real-time optimal control of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and vessels, smart power grid, and traffic systems; 

• optimal 5-axis CNC tool path planning and generation.

 

These researches have been widely published in scientific journals, conference proceedings, and industrial patents. Dr. Dong has worked closely with the industry and served as Director, consultant and collaborator of companies and government agencies. He also served as a member of the editorial boards of several international journals and organization committees of several international conferences. 

 

Dr. Dong also contributed to several international academic and research collaboration programs at UVic and served as a reviewer for several funding agencies and universities.
