Earlier in my career, my project 鈥淥ptofluidic Solar Concentrators鈥� the U.S. Department of Energy named it as one of the 鈥渟ix transformational energy research and development projects that could revolutionize how the country uses, stores, and produces energy.鈥�

In my research, I have extensive experience in renewable energy, optofluidics, thermal-fluid sciences, micro/nano-fluidics, multiphase fluid flow, nano-fabrications, and computational fluid dynamics numerical simulation.

Prior to joining the department of mechanical engineering in 2015 as an associate professor, I was a research associate at Pennsylvania State University and a research scientist at Teledyne Scientific Company (formerly Rockwell Science Center). In 2013, I was recognized with an Outstanding Overseas Young Scholar Award from China National Science Foundation. And in 2019, I was elected as 51官网 Tech Engineering Faculty Fellow.

I earned my bachelors in applied physics from Peking University; and my masters in computer science and Ph.D. in physics; both from Purdue University.
