THERMAL ENGINEERING · ENERGY SYSTEMS · APPLIED AI
Thermal engineering for products & energy systems.
I’m Sam Jiun-Wei Hu. I connect thermal and acoustic design, geothermal energy research, and applied AI—from consumer electronics to district heating and cooling.
Industry experience in ASUS and ROG products. Research in geothermal heat pumps, thermal storage and low-energy HVAC.
From product-scale cooling to district-scale energy.
SELECTED WORK
Three ways I turn analysis into design.
01 / PRODUCT THERMAL DESIGN
ROG Flow Z13
Vapor chamber integration, airflow and thermal design for a compact gaming tablet.
02 / ENERGY SYSTEMS
District energy & thermal storage
Research combining geothermal heat pumps, underground thermal storage and renewable energy.
03 / APPLIED AI
LLMs for customer feedback
A practical training approach to classifying feedback, analysing sentiment and interpreting NPS with language models.
HOW I WORK
A systems view of heat, flow and data.
I connect modelling, experimentation and design decisions across product engineering and energy research.
Thermal & acoustic design
Heat transfer, airflow, CFD and the trade-offs between performance, acoustics and compact product design.
Renewable thermal systems
Geothermal heat pumps, ground heat exchangers, low-energy HVAC and district-scale thermal storage.
Applied AI & technical communication
Physics-informed modelling ideas, LLM-assisted feedback analysis, research writing and presentations.
TECHNICAL WRITING
Ideas for lower-carbon thermal systems.
AI for geothermal energy
Data and collaboration for smarter thermal grids in Taiwan.
Demand response for heat pumps
Control strategies for Taiwan’s hot and humid climate.
Solar-assisted pool heating
Exploring PV/T, absorption heat pumps and thermal storage.
BEYOND ENGINEERING
Voice, performance & storytelling.
Voice acting and Xiangsheng are another part of how I explore ideas and communicate with an audience.
