Yangxiao Zhou
Associate Professor of Hydrogeology
Resume
He was born in Gansu, China, in 1958. He received the BSc in Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology from Hebei College of Geology, China in 1982. After the graduation, he continued postgraduate study in Hydrogeology at Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences in Beijing and received the MSc in 1985 and PhD in 1988, both with distinctions.
From July 1988 to June 1990, he participated in a joint hydrogeological research project as a visiting scholar at the Netherlands Institute of Applied Geosciences. He joined IHE as a lecturer/researcher since June 1990.
Dr. Zhou has broad research interests and extensive experiences in the design of groundwater monitoring networks with hydrogeological approaches, geostatistical methods and time series analysis; stochastic/deterministic modelling of groundwater flow/transport; and optimization of groundwater system for sustainable development. He has developed several computer codes (KALMOD, FREQ, and NETGRAPH) and an author of more than 50 scientific publications. He has been lecturing on Hydrogeostatistics, Groundwater Hydraulics, Groundwater Monitoring, and Applied Groundwater Modelling.
Dr. Zhou has also international experiences in postgraduate education and institution capacity building projects. He was assigned as project manager for Sana'a University support project from January 1994 to June 1995 for the development and implementation of Master of Science programme in Water and Environmental Engineering. He has developed and implemented 10 tailor-made postgraduate training programmes for the Ministry of Water Resources of China from 1996 to 2008. He has implemented two large applied groundwater research projects in China from 2000 to 2008.
