Youhua Jiang

Bio

Dr. Youhua Jiang is currently an Assistant Professor at the Mechanical Engineering Department in Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT), Shantou, China.

​

Dr. Jiang's background lies at the interface between Surface Engineering and Interfacial Phenomena, with a particular interest in how surface properties affect droplet-related phenomena.

​

Specifically, Dr. Jiang is studying the effects of solid surfaces on phenomena relating to (1) fluid dynamics, (2) solid mechanics, (3) phase-change heat transfer, and (4) physical chemistry, including:

(1) Impact, rebound, slide, coalescence, and jump of droplets/bubbles,

(2) Evaporation, condensation, freezing, melting, and boiling,

(3) Wetting/Dewetting, crystallization, droplet manipulation, and self-assembly of nano/micro-materials,

on solid surfaces with variations in properties (e.g., wettability, stimuli-responsiveness, and geometric shape).

​

The specialty of Dr. Jiang's research is Smart and Soft Interfacial Phenomena (智柔界面现象).
