Education and career

Yuwen Zhang earned his B.E. degree in thermal turbomachinery, M.E. and D.Eng. degrees in engineering thermophysics from Xi'an Jiaotong University, in 1985, 1988 and 1991, respectively. He taught at Xi'an Jiaotong University from 1991 to 1994 and was a research associate at Wright State University (1994-1995) and University of Connecticut (1995-1996). He received a Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Connecticut in 1998. He was a research scientist at University of Connecticut and a senior engineer at Thermoflow, Inc. before joining the Department of Mechanical Engineering at New Mexico State University as an assistant professor in 2001. He joined the faculty at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Missouri (MU) in 2003 as an associate professor and became a full professor in 2009. He was awarded a James C. Dowell Professorship in 2012 and served as the Department Chair from 2013 to 2017. He was named a Curators' Distinguished Professor of the University of Missouri in 2020.[1]

Technical contributions

Yuwen Zhang's research area is in the field of heat and mass transfer with applications in nanomanufacturing, thermal management, and energy storage and conversion. He has published more than 300 journal papers and over 180 conference papers on topics including latent heat thermal energy storage systems,[2] additive manufacturing (AM),[3] oscillating heat pipes,[4] femtosecond laser materials processing,[5] nanofluids,[6] and thermal management of Li-ion batteries.[7]

Professional services

Yuwen Zhang is the Co-Editor-in-Chief for Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer (FHMT), Associate Editor for ASME Journal of Heat Transfer, as well as an editorial board member for eight other journals. As a Fellow of ASME, he was the Chair (2012-2014) and the Vice-Chair (2009-2012) of the K-15 Committee on Transport Phenomena in Manufacturing and Materials Processing of the ASME Heat Transfer Division. As an Associate Fellow of AIAA, he was a Member of the AIAA Thermophysics Technical Committee (2008–2011). He is also a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and a member of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). In these capacities, he has served as track chair and session chairs for numerous national and international conferences.
