Biography

I am a research fellow at Heat Transfer Lab in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan. I have a particular focus on near-field heat transfer and thermal transport at the solid-liquid interface using molecular dynamics simulation.

Currently, I am working on a project named mechanism clarification of quasi-Casimir coupling induced phonon heat transport using machine learning, supported by Industry-Academia Innovation Center of Kyushu Institute of Technology.

Interests
  • Molecular dynamics simulation
  • Near-field heat transfer
  • Phonon transport
  • Interfacial heat transfer
  • Intermolecular energy transfer
