Thermal Engineering

Lin Qiu is Professor of Thermal Science & Energy Engineering at University of Science and Technology Beijing. Her research focuses on understanding the micro- and nano-scale heat transfer. In particular, nanocarbon structures and their interfaces that mainly involve heat dissipation (e. g. , carbon nanotube arrays, carbon nanotube/carbon fibers, graphene nanoplates and graphene-diamond interfaces, etc). Her group concentrates on challenging characterization of novel nanoscale materials with excellent thermal transport properties (e. g. Harmonic wave technology, Raman spectroscopy, Scanning thermal Microscopy, etc). She also performs theoretical mechanism studies on the phonon transmission in nano-carbon materials using molecular dynamics simulation. She also explores possible applications, in collaboration with industrial partners, including nano-thermal interfacial materials, conformal flexible thermosensors, blood flow mapping sensors, thermophysical property measurement instrument, etc. She has co-authored more than 70 publications in international journals, and counts with more than 2, 000 citations to her work, and selected into Excellent Young Scientists Fund and Beijing Nova Program

Yanhui Feng, professor and doctoral tutor, is currently the vice director of the School of Energy and Environment Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing, China. She obtained her PhD degree from University of Science and Technology Beijing in 2000. She served as syndic of Engineering Thermophysics Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Higher Education, secretary-general of the Energy and Thermal Engineering branch of the Chinese Society for Metals, syndic of the Beijing Institute of Thermophysics and Energy Engineering. She is also the editors of Journal of Thermal Science and Technology, Fuel & Chemical Processes and etc. She has won the Special prize for Metallurgical Science and Technology Award in 2017. She has carried out interdisciplinary cooperative researches in the fields of materials and metallurgy, including the thermophysical properties of micro/nano-assembled materials, and the multi-scale multi-interface transport phenomena with phase change, simulation and optimization of thermal engineering processes for energy saving and pollutant reduction.
