Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China
Associate Professor in the School of Aeronautics & Astronautics at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Honorary Research Fellow at Imperial College London. I am now supported by “Overseas High-level Talents Program” (Shanghai Specially Recruited Experts). Before, I was a Rolls-Royce researcher in the Department of Aeronautics and a researcher in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London. My research interests span applied/computational mathematics and fluid mechanics: hydrodynamic instability (laminar-turbulent transition), aeroacoustics, turbulence, kinetic theory-based modelling/method, numerical analysis and methods. I am currently working on broadband noise modelling and prediction, laminar-turbulent transition, machine learning. Especially, I have been working on spectral/hp element methods and am a developer of the opensource software Nektar++. I was also one of the pioneering porotype designers of LaBS and a developer of Palabos. My researches are/were supported by NSFC, EPSRC, Rolls-Royce, Airbus, Bombardier, McLaren, Renault and so on. My research papers were mainly published in Journal of Fluid Mechanics, SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, Journal of Computational Physics and so on.
