Overview
I am a PhD student at Cardiff University. Before attending PhD degree, I had been doing research related to multi-flow, particle errosion and depostion through CFD simulation and experiment. Based on the target of Net Zero 2050, my current research is related to the optimization of the gas network, low-carbon energy system modeling, etc.
