Overview
Background
Dr. Yuchen Dai has extensive experience in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations on complex flows including swirling, multiphase, and reacting flows. He is also good at asymptotically solving non-linear dynamic systems. Dr. Dai's current research interests span heat & mass transfer, fluid mechanics, analytical methods, and microfluidics.
Dr. Yuchen Dai received his Ph.D. in 2021 from the School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering, the University of Queensland (UQ), Brisbane, Australia. After that, he joined Griffith University as a research assistant and continued as a research fellow with the Queensland Micro&Nanotechnology Centre (QMNC) until 2023. Currently, he is working as a postdoctoral research fellow at the School of Chemical Engineering, the University of Queensland.
