Read here about a tensegrity researcher whose work is frequently cited in the scholarly literature.

Bio

Jingyao Zhang is a tension structure researcher at Nagoya City University specializing in Tensegrity and its Structural Optimization. Tensegrity structures are part of his lab's specialization in Spatial Structures. He also researches Structural Optimization, Earthquake Engineering and Wind Engineering.

Zhang earned his B.A. in the Dept. of Civil Engineering, Zhejiang University, P.R. China, 1997. He was then a research student in the Structural Design Lab., Dept. of Civil Engineering, Tohoku University, Japan, from 2002 to 2003. He then studied with Prof. Ohsaki, earning a Masters in 2005 with his thesis on "Optimization Problem for Design and Maintenance of Forces and Shapes of Tension Structures", and a Dr. Eng. in 2007, Dept. of Architecture & Architectural Engineering, Kyoto University, Japan, Thesis: Structural Morphology and Stability of Tensegrity Structures.
