Prof. Wei Li, Fellow ASME and Professor in Department of Energy Engineering, Zhejiang University, China, obtained his MS and Ph.D. degrees in heat transfer from Penn State University in 1998. He has published more than 400 peer-reviewed papers in English and Chinese journals and proceedings on studies of thermal systems, including 190+ archival journal papers as the corresponding author in prestigious journals. He has been granted 6 patents. Professor Li’s research experience includes experimental, numerical, and theoretical studies on a wide variety of fundamental and applied topics: two phase heat transfer, falling film evaporation, fouling, chemical reaction flow, compact heat exchangers, air conditioning, chemico-physical characteristics of heat-transfer surfaces, and so on. His group leverages state-of-the-art micro/nanofabrication and synthesis, unique measurement and simulation, and model prediction capabilities to perform in-depth studies and enable mechanistic insights into complex fluidic and thermal transport processes for these applications.
