     Dr. Jiang's research topics mainly include (1) Droplet statics, (2) Droplet dynamics, and (3) Surface engineering, with a  focus on how surface properties affect the phenomena relating to droplet statics and dynamics, where the effect of liquid-gas interfacial tension dominates. The specialty or uniqueness of Dr. Jiang's research can be summarized as Smart and Soft Interfacial Phenomena (智柔界面现象), as the current focus of Dr. Jiang's group is droplet statics and dynamics on well-ordered, stimuli-responsive, flexible, superhydrophobic microstructures

       The physics behind those topics are quite interdisciplinary, spanning from Fluid Mechanics (流体力学), Solid Mechanics (固体力学), Phase-Change Heat Transfer (传热传质), (4) Physical Chemistry (物理化学), to (5) Nano-/micro-fabrication (微纳制造).
