  • Building energy systems
  • Solar heating and cooling
  • Phase change thermal storage
  • CO2 hydrate-based thermal storage/carbon capture/desalination
  • Gas hydrate thermodynamics and kinetics

I am recruiting PhD candidates in three areas

  • Two-dimensional compounds (MXene, graphene, etc.) for thermal management
  • CFD modelling for multi-phase flows or thermal storage systems
  • Gas hydrate science

I plan to supervise Honours/capstone projects. Please refer to "Student projects".
