Prof Chun Yang at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore visited HEG on May 28 and gave a talk on "Freezing Dynamics and Morphology of Impacted and Deposited Droplets on a Cold Surface".

Biography: Chun Yang is a Full Professor in School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). He obtained his B.Sc. degree from the Department of Thermal Engineering at Tsinghua University, M.Eng degree in Engineering Thermophysics from University of Science and Technology of China, and Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from University of Alberta. Prior to joining NTU in 1999, he had been with Syncrude Canada Ltd. - Edmonton Research Centre under NSERC Chair Programme in Oil Sands for three years. His research lies in experimental, theoretical and numerical studies of electrokinetic transport and microfluidics, colloids and surface phenomena as well as fluid flow, heat and mass transfer at micro and nano-scales with emphasis on electrostatic surface charge and interfacial effects, exploring applications in water quality monitoring, thermal management, icing mitigation and de-icing, and nanoenergy generation etc. He has authored and co-authored one book, 24 book chapters and more than 260 refereed journal papers with Google Scholar citation counts of more than 17,000 and Hirsch-index over 60. He also has 4 US patents in his name. He had served as Editor for International Communications of Heat and Mass Transfer, Open Physics Journal and Associate Editor for Science Bulletin. Currently, he is Editor-in-Chief for Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer and also sits on the Editorial/Advisory Boards of several journals. He is a Fellow of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and Asian Union of Thermal Science and Engineering (AUTSE), and won Changjiang Scholar award.
