How I fell in love with my field:
\n<\/strong>Being always interested in energy-related research, I had this opportunity to switch my research field to droplet combustion and do microgravity experiments on earth and aboard the International Space Station. The ideal microgravity droplet flame with a spherical symmetry is a classical problem in textbook, but using this platform to compare surrogate fuels and biofuels with conventional transportation fuels brings new spirits to it. Despite the idealness of the flame, to achieve such a experimental condition is a very challenging task and it requires lots of hands-on engineering design. This is where I found my field interesting and fell in love with it.<\/p>\n

What I hope for my time at UM-Flint:
\n<\/strong>For my time at UM-Flint, I hope that I can bring students new research projects and learning experiences that are more helpful when they go to local and global industries. I believe this would benefit both the community and student\u2019s career development.<\/p>\n

Three things you should know about me:
\n<\/strong>\u2022 I play guitar and several percussion instruments.
\n\u2022 Though I enjoy listening to classical music, I also listen to a variety of pop music.
\n\u2022 I enjoy working with students and seeing they learn, grow, and become professional in what they are interested in. That\u2019s why I am here at UM-Flint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
