Qizhen Hong is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He received his B.S. degree from Beihang University in 2017 and his Ph.D. degree from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2022. His research focuses on high-fidelity simulation and physical modeling of high-temperature thermochemical nonequilibrium flows, including the development of databases of high-temperature state-specific rate coefficients (the GassData database, http://stsdata.vlcc.cn/#/ ), state-to-state modeling of thermochemical nonequilibrium processes, quantum–classical approaches for molecular inelastic collisions, global stability analysis of high-speed flows, and flowfield reconstruction using deep neural operator learning. He has been selected for the Young Elite Scientist Sponsorship Program of the China Association for Science and Technology and is a recipient of the President’s Award of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the CAS Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award.
