About Us

  • Our research interest lies in the non-equilibrium energy conversion in combustion, chemical synthesis, and battery fire safety. We have published a series of top journals in Nature, ACS Energy Lett. (IF=24), Renew. Sust. Energ. Rev. (IF=17), Combust. Flame, Proc. Combust. Inst., etc.

Join Us

  • Our research group is looking for doctoral candidates, postdoctoral fellowes, research assistants and undergraduate students with good theoretical or experimental foundation in the fields of thermal physics, chemistry, fluid and other related fields.
