I have been working on micro/nano scale heat conduction, multi-scale heat and mass transfer, phonon hydrodynamics, computational fluid dynamics and mesoscopic numerical methods. At present, I am working with domestic and foreign scientific research groups such as McGill University in Canada, University of Tokyo in Japan, Capital Normal University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology to carry out FinFET/GAAFET electric-thermo-mechanical coupling multi-scale heat and mass transfer, first-principles computation-BTE simulation-experiment combination, phonon/electron hydrodynamics, electron-phonon coupling, and data-driven deep learning multi-scale modeling and other research. In recent years, I have published more than 20 papers in Materials Today Physics, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Applied Thermal Engineering,  Physical Review B/E, Applied Physics Letters, Journal of Applied Physics, Journal of Computational Physics, Science Bulletin, Advanced in Aerodynamics etc.

In the next five to ten years, I will conduct multi-scale and multi-physical field coupling heat and mass transfer research from the three aspects of numerical methods, physical mechanism and machine learning modeling, and cooperate with theoretical/experimental reasearch groups, such as Professor Zhaoli Guo's group in Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Professor Samuel Huberman's group in McGill University, etc.

Numerically: to develop efficient mesoscopic numerical method for solving (phonon/electron/photon/gas molecule/plasma, etc.) Boltzmann transport equation, write a massive parallel computing program in C/C++, and apply it for simulating multi-scale and multi-field coupling heat transfer in chips or other areas.

Physical mechanism: the input parameters of Boltzmann transport equation are obtained by first-principle DFT calculations, and the multi-physical field heat transport processes of phonon/electron hydrodynamics, electron-phonon coupling, convection-radiation-conduction coupling are studied by combining with experiments.

Machine learning modeling: numerical/physical modeling is developed by data-driven machine learning methods, to develop efficient and practical models and boundary conditions for rapid simulation of engineering heat and mass transfer problems.
