I am an Associate Professor at Dalian University of Technology.
My research lies at the intersection of underwater acoustics and turbulent flows,
with particular interests in acoustic–turbulence interactions, structure analysis,
turbulence modeling, and machine learning.
Before joining DUT, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow (2024–2025) at the Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of
Turbulence Research and Applications, Southern University of Science and Technology,
studying high-temperature jet impingement flows.
Earlier, I served as a Postdoctoral Fellow (2022–2024) in the Department of Aeronautical
and Aviation Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University,
where I investigated unsteady hydrogen-oxygen two-phase flows in coaxial swirling jets,
focusing on self-pulsation phenomena. I earned my B.E. (2016) and Ph.D. (2022) from Dalian University of Technology.

Dalian is a beautiful coastal city,
an international shipping center in Northeast Asia, an advanced manufacturing base in Northeast China,
and the economic center of the three northeastern provinces.
Dalian has excellent port facilities, developed shipbuilding industry and many State Key Laboratory.
Currently, its economic scale has reached the trillion mark, and it is undergoing a transformation
from traditional industries to intelligent, green, and digital ones.
Therefore, in order to promote the development of Dalian and even the country,
our goal is to address potential challenges in the current industry, including
but not limited to high-tech ships, clean energy, and heat dissipation technology.

★ Impingement
Applied Thermal Engineering, 2024, 124841.
Note: The turbulence and laminar contributions to the heat transfer rate and flow fields are analyzed to help improve heat transfer performance of jet impingement.
★ Acoustic

Note: A CSRPIM method is proposed for solving the "over-stiff" problem of Finite Element Method (FEM)
★ Impingement
International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow, 2024, 108:109473.
Note: Based on the SSTCD model, we provide an approach to get accurate flow structures and heat transfer rates effectively. Near the wall, two separated vorticity structures are vividly captured, corresponding to the change of heat transfer peaks.
★ High speed
