PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Research Assistant, with Prof. Ronggui Yang 08/2009-12/2014

University of Colorado, Boulder

Built FEA models with ANSYS to determine the thermal performance of flat heat pipe (FHP), revealing the

potential applications of FHP in high acceleration condition and mobile devices.

Determined a heat spreading structure for GaN high frequency RF device with ANSYS, useful for hot spot

cooling.

Developed high-temperature/vacuum experiment systems to study enhanced pool boiling and dropwise

condensation heat transfer on nanowire structured surfaces, enabling highly efficient apparatus with ultrahigh

heat flux removal capability.

Designed and fabricated patterned nanowire-array wicking structures for thermal ground planes capable to

remove ~200W/cm2 heat flux, beneficial for thermal management of energy concentrated electronic devices.

Research Assistant, with Prof. Dawei Tang 12/2006-07/2009

Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences

Measured and modeled thermal properties of carbon nanotube arrays using the 3 method for future thermal

interface material applications.

Wrote C language code to simulate the travelling of shock wave inside a tunnel, revealing the formation of Mach

stem and the interaction of shock waves.

Research Assistant, with Prof. Jianhua Wang 09/2005-07/2006

University of Science and Technology of China

Set up an experiment system to measure the velocity of complex internal flow with Particle Image Velocimetry

and studied the flow field with Fluent, providing gas flow improvement suggestions in a nozzle material.
