Mr. Zewen Zhuo | Rewards & Recognition | Excellence in Research Award

Engineer | The University of  Shandong Gangyuan Pipeline Logistics Co., Ltd | China

Mr. Zewen Zhuo is a researcher specializing in the rheology, microstructural behavior, and flow assurance mechanisms of waxy crude oil systems. His scholarly work focuses on understanding how wax crystallization, gel formation, and structural failure processes influence the stability and transport efficiency of crude oil in pipeline environments. Through the integration of rheology, in situ microscopy, and advanced experimental observation methods, his contributions address key scientific challenges associated with long distance crude oil transportation. With 3 published research documents, 48 citations, and a current h-index of 2, his work demonstrates measurable academic influence within the petroleum engineering and flow assurance communities. His studies provide detailed insights into the nonlinear and dynamic behavior of waxy crude oil under thermal and mechanical disturbances, offering data and models that support improved operational reliability in the oil and gas industry. One of his major contributions includes the investigation of the structural failure process of gelled waxy crude oil emulsions, using synchronous rheological and microscopic techniques to reveal how gel networks deform and break under external stress. Another publication examines shear thinning behavior and microstructural evolution in waxy crude oil, providing a clearer understanding of how shear fields disrupt wax crystal aggregates and modify flow characteristics. His additional work explores the destruction mechanisms of gel structures in emulsion systems, contributing to more accurate predictions of restart performance, wax deposition risk, and flow resistance. Across these studies, Mr. Zhuo’s research advances fundamental knowledge of wax oil interactions, microstructural dynamics, and rheological response under complex operating conditions. His contributions support the development of more efficient, safer, and scientifically grounded strategies for crude oil storage, transportation, and flow assurance technology.

Prof. Xu Xinsheng | Strategic HR Management | Research Excellence Award

Professor | The University of Shandong University of Aeronautics | China

Prof. Xinsheng Xu is an accomplished scholar whose research sits at the intersection of supply chain management, inventory theory, risk analytics, and quantitative optimization. With 34 academic documents, over 300 citations, and an h-index of 10, his scholarly impact is reflected in both the depth and breadth of his contributions to operations research and management science. His work advances understanding of decision-making under uncertainty, particularly focusing on how risk attitudes such as loss aversion and risk aversion shape procurement and ordering behavior. A significant portion of his research extends classical models such as the newsvendor framework, exploring new dimensions that incorporate backlogging, shortage penalties, fill rate considerations, opportunity loss, and advanced risk measures including Conditional Value-at-Risk. These models offer improved decision-support tools for retailers, suppliers, and logistics managers facing increasingly volatile market environments. Beyond behavioral decision models, his research also encompasses multi sourcing procurement, dual sourcing under emergency conditions, supply option contracts, supplier default risks, and portfolio purchasing strategies. He has developed analytical methods for optimizing procurement in hybrid sourcing systems, considering mismatch costs, spot market dynamics, emergent replenishment strategies, and utility maximizing approaches for risk-sensitive buyers. In parallel, Xinsheng Xu has made influential contributions to optimization theory, including bilevel programming, tri level supply chain models, smoothing techniques for penalty functions, and algorithmic strategies for constrained optimization. These theoretical developments are applied in multi-stage supply chain design, cooperative risk-sharing, and interaction programming problems. His work appears in respected journals such as International Journal of Production Economics, International Journal of Production Research, Annals of Operations Research, Industrial Management & Data Systems, Computers & Industrial Engineering, Mathematics, Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, and Numerical Functional Analysis and Optimization.
