Ph.D. Students

Xiaojie Liu

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.

Fangqi Chen

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.

Andrew Caratenuto

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.

Yang Liu

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.
