Gui-yong Zhang, professor, doctoral supervisor. He received a bachelor's degree in ship engineering from Dalian University of Technology in 2001 and a doctor's degree from National University of Singapore in 2007. He has successively engaged in research work at the Joint Research Institute of MIT in Singapore (2007-2010) and the University of Western Australia (2010-2013). He has been working in the school of ship engineering of Dalian University of technology since 2013. He is the leader of scientific research and innovation team of "ship and ocean engineering hydrodynamic" of Dalian University of technology. He is now the Dean of School of Naval Architecture.

His main research filed is about combining advanced numerical calculation methods such as meshless with the innovation of marine engineering. His research focuses on the key common problems such as fluid structure coupling in ship and ocean engineering, as well as the development technology of high-tech ships such as polar ships, He has published more than 50 SCI indexed papers and cited more than 540 times. In 2013, he published an English monograph on Meshless smooth point interpolation. He has been PI for several national research projects, such as strategic high-tech key projects, and general projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), and participated in several key projects of NSFC and high-tech ships of the Ministry of industry and information technology.

At present, he is the member of several international and domestic scientific societies or committees such as the dynamic response Committee of the international ship and Ocean Engineering Structure Committee (ISSC), the ninth ship mechanics Academic Committee of the China Shipbuilding Engineering Society, the international Chinese Computational Mechanics Association (ICACM), the "meshless and particle method professional group" of the Chinese Computational Mechanics professional committee, the Fishing Vessel Standardization Technical National Committee. He has served as the editorial board member of the Journal of ship mechanics, as well as peer reviewers of more than 20 domestic and foreign journals, including Ocean Engineering, Journal of fluids and structures, International Journal for Numerical Methods in engineering. In 2010, he was awarded the Young Scholar Award of Asia Pacific Society of computational mechanics.
