Experience Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, NCSU, Raleigh, NC, USA
Graduate Research Assistant, 1998-Present
  • Investigated transport phenomena in porous media

    •    Analyzed fluid flow and heat transfer through channels of different geometry,
       partly filled with a porous medium and partly with a homogeneous fluid.
  • Modeled solidification processes of binary alloys

    •    Developed a novel three-phase model to simulate solidification of aluminum-copper
       alloys, which involves phase change and coupling of thermodynamics, fluid flow,
       and solute transport.
  • Proposed a mathematical model based on the classical free meniscus theory for
       the dip coating process accounting for evaporation from the free surface.


    • Department of Engineering Mechanics, Tsinghua University, Beijing, P. R. China
    Undergraduate Study and Graduate Assistant, 1994-1998
  • Utilized ADINA and ADINAT (finite element commercial packages) to investigate heat
       transfer and stress/strain field in glass panel for color TV during solidification.
  • Developed user-defined subroutine (FORTRAN code) for SIMPLER (software package)
       to investigate fluid flow and heat transfer in the melt channel in the
       manufacture of glass panels.
