Ma Lei

Associate Professor Ma Lei has been on the faculty of Shenzhen University of Technology since 2017, currently holding the rank of Associate Professor. He earned a joint PhD from Huazhong University of Science and Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), followed by post-doctoral training at Shenzhen University.

Education:

• 2005–2009 – B.S., School of Energy and Power Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology
• 2009–2014 – Master & PhD Program (combined), School of Energy and Power Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology
• 2011–2013 – Joint PhD student, MIT School of Mechanical Engineering

Research Interests: Ma Lei’s work centers on industrial energy-saving technologies, new energy systems, electronic-device cooling, and thermal characterization of advanced materials. His investigations bridge fundamental transport phenomena and practical thermal-management solutions for electronics and energy systems.

Across seventeen journal publications (2010–2017) he has explored nanofluid thermophysical properties, micro/nano-scale heat conduction, Monte-Carlo phonon simulations, shell-and-tube heat-exchanger optimization, and fuel-cell catalyst development. The studies repeatedly couple experimental measurements with high-fidelity numerical modeling, demonstrating a clear trajectory from nanoscale transport physics to system-level thermal design.
