Reduced Modelling of Planar Fuel Cells (PDF)

Dr. He received his B. Eng. Degree in Mechanical Engineering (major in Industrial Design) and Ph.D. degree in Engineering Mechanics from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore in 2009 and 2014, respectively. Currently, Dr. He is a research fellow in Energy Research Institute at Nanyang Technological University (ERIAN). He is strong at multiphysics modelling and simulation, especially at developing fast and efficient models for fuel cells whose performance typically involves multiphysical behaviours such as transport phenomena, thermal dynamics, and electrochemical performance. His research interests also include electrostatic precipitation, steam soaking, and acoustic agglomeration to remove particulate matters from air.



Dr. Hua Li received his B.Sc and M.Eng degrees in Engineering Mechanics from Wuhan University of Technology, P.R.C., in 1982 and 1987, respectively. He obtained his Ph.D degree in Mechanical Engineering from the National University of Singaporein 1999. From 2000 to 2001, Dr. Li was a Postdoctoral Associate at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. At the end of 2005, he was a Visiting Scientist (on invitation) at the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering of Johns Hopkins University. From 2001 to 2006, he was a Research Scientist in the A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing. Dr Li joined Nanyang Technological University (NTU) as an Assistant Professor in June 2006 and he was promoted to Associate Professor in March 2013. He is currently in the School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at NTU. His research interests include the multiphysics modelling of soft matters (smart hydrogel in bioMEMS and biological cell in microscale fields); development of highly efficient numerical computational methodology (meshless & multiscale algorithms); simulation of sustainable energy (building energy efficiency and fuel cell system); and dynamics
