CHEN Dongyu

CHEN Dongyu is an Assistant Professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. His research interests include thermal storage systems, cyber-attack and defensive strategies in energy systems, smart buildings with thermal management, two-phase and phase-change heat transfer, advanced Bayesian networks, and the Lattice Boltzmann method. CHEN obtained his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland (2016-2022), followed by a M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan (2014-2015), and a B.S. in Energy, Power System, and Automation from Xi'an Jiao Tong University (2010-2014). He previously served as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Central Florida (2022-2024).

Dongyu Chen is a researcher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University focusing on advanced thermal energy storage systems, phase change materials (PCM), and their integration with heat exchangers. Their work explores the application of lattice Boltzmann methods to model solid-liquid phase change processes in porous media, aiming to enhance energy efficiency in heat transfer systems. Chen also investigates the role of PCM in sustainable energy systems, particularly in heat pumps and building energy management. Additionally, they contribute to cybersecurity in smart buildings, analyzing threats to energy performance and developing defense mechanisms using physics-informed dynamic Bayesian networks. Their research emphasizes improving thermal performance, fault diagnosis, and system reliability in energy systems.
