Research Interests and Awards

Dr. Zhuang's primary research objective is to integrate operations research, big data analytics, game theory, and decision analysis to enhance mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery in the face of natural and man-made disasters. Additionally, he explores other domains such as healthcare, sports, transportation, supply chain management, sustainability, and architecture.

Dr. Zhuang has acted as a principal investigator for more than 30 research grants funded by various organizations, including the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
Dr. Zhuang has received numerous leadership and research awards, including the 2022 Fellow Award from the Society for Risk Analysis (SRA), the 2020-2021 SUNY Chancellor's Awards for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities, the 2021-2023 Buffalo Blue Sky Bronze Coin Holder Award, the 2019 SRA's Chauncey Starr Distinguished Young Risk Analyst Award, the UB's 2019 Exceptional Scholar Award for Sustained Achievement, the 2018 SEAS' Senior Researcher of the Year Award, the 2018-2020 Buffalo Blue Sky Gold Coin Award, the 2017 Koopman Prize from the INFORMS' Military Applications Society, the 2014 Military Operations Research Journal Award, and the 2013 UB's Exceptional Scholar--Young Investigator Award. Additionally, Dr. Zhuang is a fellow of the 2011 U.S. Air Force Summer Faculty Fellowship Program sponsored by the AFOSR and a fellow of the 2009-2010 Next Generation of Hazards and Disasters Researchers Program sponsored by the NSF.
Dr. Zhuang exhibits unwavering commitment to teaching and mentoring both undergraduate and graduate students. His exceptional dedication in these areas has earned him several prestigious accolades, including the 2020 UB Teaching Innovation Award, the 2019-20 UB Excellence in Graduate Student Mentoring Award, the 2019 UB SEAS Best Senior Teacher of the Year Award, the 2019 UB Student Engagement's Exemplary Faculty/Staff Mentor Award, the 2012 UB President Emeritus and Mrs. Martin Meyerson Award for Distinguished Teaching and Mentoring, and the 2008 Graduate Student Mentor Award from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
