Zhi Liang

Dr. Zhi Liang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology (MST). He serves as Director of the Nanoscale Thermal Fluids Laboratory (NTFL) and Principal Investigator there. His work focuses on computational micro/nanoscale heat and mass transfer phenomena, particularly dynamics of nanodroplets, nanobubbles, and nanoparticles.

• Education:
• Ph.D. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (2010), Missouri University of Science and Technology
• M.S. in Materials Science and Engineering (2004), Shanghai Jiaotong University
• B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering (2001), Shanghai Jiaotong University

Research interests include structure-property relationships for materials/interfaces and applications in microelectronics cooling, power generation, energy harvesting, and medical therapy. The NTFL lab develops advanced computational models to explore these phenomena.
