Chen Li

Dr. Chen Li is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Carolina's Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing. His research focuses on micro/nano-scale two-phase heat and flow physics, prediction, and modeling. He directs a research group including postdoctoral fellows and PhD students, and has secured over $3.5M in external funding for projects related to thermal management and energy systems.

His work explores fundamental theories of two-phase transport behaviors and their applications in thermal management and water-energy nexus solutions, with publications in high-impact journals like Applied Physics Letters and Small.
