Profile
Assoc Prof Fei DUAN
Principal Investigator
Dr Fei Duan joined Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore in July 2008 after a three-year postdoc study in the University of Toronto, Canada. He currently works as a tenured associate professor in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at NTU.
Dr Duan graduated with his Ph.D. degree from University of Toronto, Canada in 2005. He also worked as a visiting scientist in the Institute of Fluid Mechanics at Friedrich-Alexander-University, Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. The topics of his research covers droplet wetting and evaporation dynamics, Marangoni flow, particle self-assembly, enhanced thermal cooling for industrial applications and data center management, efficient cogeneration system, etc. Dr Duan has advised over 25 postdocs/research associates, 17 Ph.D. students, and 14 Master’s students. Dr Duan has published about 260 journal papers, conference papers and book chapters, among them, over 150 are peer reviewed journal papers. He serves as Subject Editor for Applied Thermal Engineering (Elsevier, Impact Factor: 6.465), and in the Editorial Board for Scientific Reports (Nature Portfolio, Impact Factor: 4.996).
