Prof. Lipo Wang is a Professor with tenure at the University of Michigan–Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Institute. He earned his B.S. from the Department of Engineering Mechanics, Tsinghua University in 1997, M.S. from the Department of Engineering Mechanics, Tsinghua University in 2000, and Ph.D from ITV, RWTH-Aachen in 2007. He joined the University of Michigan–Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Institute in 2012 as an associate Professor. Prof. Lipo Wang leads the turbulence, combustion and CFD (computational fluid dynamics) group focusing on fluid turbulence-related phenomena, such as fundamental turbulence, turbulent combustion and numerical simulations. The group is interested in attacking fundamentals and applications with engineering importance as well. Current research activities include the topological structures of turbulence flows, interaction between the flame surface and turbulent flows, drag reduction design, etc.
