Biography
Shaohui Zhang is a research scholar in the Pollution Management (PM) Research Group of the IIASA Energy, Climate, and Environment (ECE) Program, and an associate professor at Beihang University (BUAA) in China.His research interests focus on the Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollution Interactions and Synergies (GAINS), and Model for Energy Supply Strategy Alternatives and their General Environmental Impact (MESSAGEix) integrated assessment models; policy assessment for energy, climate, and environmental pollution; as well as cost-benefit analysis.
Zhang received his PhD from the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development at Utrecht University, The Netherlands, following the completion of an MSc at Zhengzhou University, China. He first visited IIASA in 2013 as a research assistant in the former IIASA Air Quality and Greenhouse Gases (AIR) Program. He returned to the institute in November 2016 as an IIASA postdoctoral research scholar jointly associated with the former AIR and Energy (ENE) programs at IIASA.
