Yongling Zhao, PhD

Bio

  • I am currently a Senior Scientist in the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering, ETH Zürich, Switzerland; I was a Visiting Scholar at the University of Cambridge (funded by the Swiss National Research Foundation).

  • Have established a unique research domain at the interface of fluid engineering and multiscale heat transfer for sustainable systems and climate. Developed combined experimental, numerical, analytical and data-driven approaches in research and made significant contribution to research projects funded by Australian Research Council, Swiss National Science Foundation, and Singapore’s National Research Foundation.

  • Published 40+ peer-reviewed journal articles (including first-authored papers in J Fluid Mech., Phys. Fluids, Appl. Energy, Sci. Total Environ., Urban Climate, etc.) and an invited keynote paper in the 16th International Heat Transfer Conference (quadrennial).

  • Served as a guest editor for the journal Building and Environment; editorial board member for the journal City and Built Environment; frequently providing review for top tier journals, including Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Urban Climate, npj Urban Sustainability, etc.
