Chao-Zhong Qin made his undergraduate studies at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei. From 2009 to 2012 he was doctoral student at General Motors Alternative Propulsion Research Center, Mainz-Kastel, Germany, and at Department of Earth Sciences, Utrecht University, The Netherlands. His doctoral dissertation entitled "Water and heat management in polymer electrolyte fuel cells" was supervised by Prof. Majid Hassanizadeh from Utrecht University.
From 2012 to 2016, Chao-Zhong Qin was postdoctoral scientist at Utrecht University and from 2016 to 2019 he was researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology. Since 2019, he has been a professor at the School of Resources and Safety Engineering, Chongqing University, China. His main interests are the theories of two-phase flow and reactive transport in porous media, the development of hybrid and multiscale numerical models, and digital rock physics. The relevant applications include unconventional oil/gas recovery, electrochemical devices, geological carbon dioxide storage, and underground hydrogen storage.
Last year, Chao-Zhong Qin successfully applied for a scholarship funded by the China Scholarship Council. During his four-month research stay, he and Bernd Flemisch will investigate the flow and transport in fractured porous media. A central tool of the planned collaboration will be the open-source simulator DuMux.
