Auteur: Lei Wu

Dr. Lei Wu received his Ph.D. in Fluid Mechanics from the University of Strathclyde (UK) in 2013. He became a lecturer and a senior lecturer at Strathclyde in 2015 and 2018, respectively, before joining the Southern University of Science and Technology (China) in 2019.  His research interest is in rarefied gas dynamics, in particular to construct efficient and accurate numerical schemes to solve the Boltzmann equation, as well as building kinetic models for polyatomic gases, with applications in high-altitude aerothermodynamics of space vehicles, MEMS, shale gas transportation, and multiscale heat transfer in crystals.
