Biography

PhD (NTU, Singapore)

Short Description

 
Dr Wang is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HK PolyU).  He obtained his PhD degree in 2016 from the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. After that, he worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow sequentially in NTU, HK PolyU and the M2P2 Lab, CNRS, France. He received his bachelor and master degrees from the School of Mechatronics Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, China.

Dr Wang’s research interests focus on a variety of topics involving fluid-structure interaction, flow control, heat and mass transfer, multiphase flow, Newtonian/non-Newtonian fluid flow, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and high-performance computing (HPC). He is particularly interested in studying various related engineering-based and bio-inspired aerodynamics and hydrodynamics problems through computational modelling. His work has been published in top-tier journals in physics and fluid mechanics, such as Physical Review Letters, Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Physical Review Fluids, Physics of Fluids, and Journal of Fluids and Structures. He is a member of the American Physical Society and also serves as a reviewer for several high-quality journals.
