Zhdanov is most known for his work in geophysical inverse theory, ill-posed problem solutions, and electromagnetic methods. He has pioneered 3D inversion methods for geophysical data, extended migration principles to electromagnetic and potential fields, and also researched theoretical and applied geophysical electromagnetic methods.[3] His publications comprise research articles and 16 books, including Geophysical Inverse Theory and Regularization Problems and Advanced Methods of Joint Inversion and Fusion of Multiphysics Data. He is the recipient of the 2009 University of Utah Distinguished Scholarly and Creative Research Award.[4]
Zhdanov is a Fellow of the Electromagnetics Academy[5] and an Honorary Member of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists.[6] He is the Chief Editor of the Applied & Theoretical Geophysics section of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences and Editor-in-Chief of the Mineral Exploration Methods and Applications section of Minerals.[7]
