Associate Professor
- Ph.D., 2009, Civil Engineering, Princeton University, USA
- M.S., 2005, Mathematics, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden
- B.S., 2003, Civil Engineering, Zhejiang University, China
- In December 2022, I moved to the University of Stuttgart, Germany, to take up a Chaired Professorship in Data-Driven Simulation of Fluids on High-Performance Computers. Please visit my new personal research homepage.
My research aims to advance the fundamental understanding and predictive modeling of complex, multi-scale physical systems in aerospace and ocean engineering, with particular emphasis on fluid flows, turbulence, dispersed phases (e.g., particles, bubbles), and the interactions among them. This is achieved by combining traditional physical models and modern data sciences such as statistical inference and machine learning. Specific areas of interests include:
- Data-Driven Turbulence Modeling; Uncertainty Quantification
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (e.g., particle-laden flows and turbulence modeling)
- Ocean Engineering and Marine Renewable Energy
