Dr. Zhu received his master degree in robot control in 1998 from University of Waterloo, Canada and PhD degree in mechanical engineering in 2004 from University of Toronto, Canada. In addition, he received his bachelor (1983) and master (1986) degrees in engineering mechanics, and PhD (1989) degree in computational mechanics from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China. In 1993-1995, he worked as postdoctoral fellow at University of Toronto, Canada. Then, he worked as a senior stress engineer at Curtiss-Wright Flow Controls, Indal Technologies, Canada from 1995 to 2006. In 2006, he joined York University, Canada, as an assistant professor. He is currently an associate professor and the director of space engineering program in the Department of Earth and Space Science and Engineering at York University. Dr. Zhu’s research interests focus on tether dynamics including space electrodynamic tether, space debris removal, autonomous robot for on-orbit servicing, autonomous control of robotic vehicle. In addition, he is also active in computational mechanics and multiscale modeling of nanocomposites.
