I am an assistant professor in Mechanical Engineering at Washington State University Vancouver. My research, which falls into the area of interfacial science and microfluidic engineering, seeks to create revolutionary micro/nano systems and address pressing problems involving health, energy and environment. To my understanding, the very inner nature of our universe is the nonuniformity of energy and mass, which drives everything in the world, especially heat/mass transfer and fluid flow. At small scales, the presence of interfaces greatly affects the transport laws, creating abundant phenomena for us to explore. As an engineer, beyond the deep understanding of the world, I also enjoy using my knowledge to shape the world, especially at small scales. As Feynman once said “There’s plenty of room at the bottom”, I regard engineering at micro- and nano-level as a key to solving today’s global challenges. Just like the miniaturization of electronic chips at the end of last century, today’s mechanical engineers are following the same road map towards lab on a chip, tiny fluid processors able to perform chemical and biological experiments.I have stopped updating this website, please see my lab website at: and my university profile page: |  |
