Aero-Propulsion, Mechatronics, and Energy

Energy efficiency and sustainability in buildings, Urban microclimate

Investigation and model development of response mechanisms between the built environment and urban local climate with a focus on sustainability, building energy consumption, human health and comfort, renewable energy, indoor environment improvement, and urban heat island mitigation.

Land-atmosphere interaction

Investigation of thermo-fluid dynamics for characterizing dynamics of flow and transport in and over complex terrains at the interface of the lower atmosphere and the earth surface.

Computational fluid dynamics

Turbulent flow and its modulation with buoyant forces.
