From an early age, I was captivated by the intricate dance of fluids and the transfer of heat, observing phenomena like the jet propulsion of cephalopods and the chaotic bouncing of droplets on soap films. This curiosity blossomed into a lifelong passion for thermo-fluid science, a passion that has guided my academic and professional pursuits across the disciplines of mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering.

My academic journey began with a bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering, where I delved into the fundamental mechanisms of constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment, laying the foundation for my understanding of fluid dynamics and transport processes. Driven by a desire to explore this field further, I pursued a master’s degree in mechanical engineering with a concentration in thermo-fluid science. My master’s thesis focused on the application of hybrid solar-wind power systems and shallow geothermal systems to net-zero energy plant factories, merging my passion for renewable energy with my expertise in fluid and heat transfer.

Although my initial pursuit of a PhD in chemical engineering, specializing in sustainable thermal energy systems and geothermal energy, was interrupted, my commitment to this field remained unwavering. I continued to forge ahead, conducting research on sustainable district energy systems that integrate fluctuating renewable energy, large-scale geothermal heat pumps, and underground thermal energy storage into future intelligent thermal grids. My published works on shallow geothermal energy systems, plant factories, waste heat recovery, and techno-economic assessments of enhanced geothermal systems reflect my dedication to advancing sustainable thermal solutions.

Beyond academia, I have honed my skills as a thermal and acoustic engineer in the consumer laptop industry and as a thermal specialist in the gaming laptop industry. In these roles, I successfully completed numerous projects, demonstrating my ability to translate theoretical knowledge into practical applications. Moreover, I have initiated valuable proposals, such as a physically informed neural network for accelerating computational fluid dynamics, additive manufacturing for two-phase flow thermal modules, and surfactant-enhanced ultra-thin vapor chambers for thermal performance enhancement, showcasing my innovative spirit and commitment to pushing the boundaries of thermal design.

Throughout my journey, I have maintained a deep-rooted passion for understanding the intricacies of fluid flow and heat transfer, whether in the context of geothermal district heating and cooling design, consumer electronic thermal design, or other applications. This passion, coupled with my multidisciplinary background and diverse experiences, has equipped me with a unique perspective and a strong foundation to contribute to the fields of renewable thermal systems, thermal and fluid dynamic design, and aerodynamics.

As I embark on the next chapter of my career, whether as a PhD student, researcher, thermal specialist, sustainable thermal energy engineer, or consultant, I am driven by a relentless curiosity and a commitment to leveraging my expertise in thermo-fluid science to develop innovative solutions that address global energy and environmental challenges. With a heart rooted in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering, I am poised to make meaningful contributions to these vital fields, pushing the boundaries of what is possible and shaping a more sustainable future.
