Dr. Zha is the founder of CoFlow Jet Aerospace. He is also a full professor at University of Miami, Director of the Aerodynamics and CFD Lab. Dr. Zha is specialized in aerospace engineering, aerodynamics, aircraft design, CFD development and application, flow control, turbomachinery aerodynamics and aeromechanics. Dr. Zha is ASME Fellow, AIAA Associate Fellow, NASA NIAC Fellow, World Top 2% Scientist(ranked by Stanford Univ., 2020-present). Dr. Zha has extensive experience working in aerospace industry(GE Aircraft Engines, Pratt & Whitney, Air Force Research Lab) and Academia. Dr. Zha is the inventor and originator of the coflow jet airfoil flow control concept, which was started as a research project when he worked as a NRC summer faculty at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, OH, in 2002. The original purpose of the coflow jet airfoil is to be used for aircraft engine fans/compressors. Dr. Zha has applied the CFJ airfoil to new concept aircraft since then.
