Ph.D. Students
Email: tian.yan@northeastern.edu. My research interests include nanoscale heat transfer of nano-materials with experimental methods, especially, selective broadband and narrowband thermal emitter and its engineering application on solar thermophotovoltaics and radiative cooling. Apart from staying in the lab for the experiment, I like cooking and playing Ping-Pong.
Email: liu.xiaojie@northeastern.edu I am currently a student in the mechanical engineering department at Northeastern University. I hold a bachelor’s degree in China. My major research focus includes the wavelength selectivity solar thermal absorber/emitter and microfluidics.
Email: chen.fangq@northeastern.edu I received my bachelor’s degree in nuclear engineering and technology at Fudan University, China, and a master’s degree in mechanical engineering at Boston University. Now I am a first-year Ph.D. student. My research interest includes microscale heat transfer and radiative cooling. In my free time, I like listening to music, doing sports, and watching movies.
Before joining Northeastern University, I received my bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Connecticut. My research focuses on the design of narrowband thermal emitters using nanostructures and nanoparticles, which can contribute to more efficient solar energy generation. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, exercising, and traveling.
Email: liu.yang18@northeastern.edu I received my master’s degree in thermal engineering at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China. Now I am a first-year Ph.D. student. My research interest includes nano/microscale thermal conduction and radiation. In my free time, I like cooking, playing basketball, and Ping-Pong.
Master Students
I received my Bachelor’s degree in Bioengineering from the University of California, San Diego. I am a first-year Mechanical Engineering Master student with a focus in Thermofluids. My research interests are microfluidics and heat transfer in nanoscale materials. In addition, I like traveling and exploring nature.
I am currently a student at Northeastern University pursuing my masters in Energy Systems. I did my undergrad in Mechanical Engineering from SRM, Chennai. I went for a Semester Abroad Program to National University of Singapore (NUS) where I did my research on Downdraft Biomass Gasifiers under Professor Wang Chi Hwa.
