Bio

Chengzhen Sun received the B.Eng. degree in thermal engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an, China in 2008 and the Ph.D. degree in Power Engineering and Engineering Thermophysics from Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an, China in 2014. As a Ph.D student, he studied at the Department of Mechanical Engineering in MIT as a visiting student from 2012 to 2013. He started his academic career as a Lecturer at Xi’an Jiaotong University, China in 2014 and then worked as Young Talent Professor in 2021. Currently, his researches focus on mass and energy transport of nanoconfined fluids, especially on nanoscale multiphase flow, to develop high-efficiency technologies of membrane separation, enhanced oil recovery and energy conversion. He published more than 70 peer-reviewed SCI-indexed papers in the journals of Physical Review Letters (1), ACS Nano (2), Science Bulletin (2) etc. He was invited to publish book chapter, review paper, perspective and highlight, and serve as editorial board member of the journal of Sci. China-Phys. Mech. Astron., J. Eng. Thermophys. He was honored as the National Science Fund for Excellent Young Scholars, Best Doctoral Thesis in Shaanxi Province, Annual Best Paper in Science Bulletin and others.
