GONG Shuai

GONG Shuai is an Associate Professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. His research interests include micro-/nanoscale liquid-vapor phase change heat transfer, wetting and interface, electronics cooling, and water electrolysis. He has conducted post-doctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. His work has been published in several high-impact journals, including Applied Physics Letters, Physics of Fluids, and International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer. GONG Shuai's research focuses on advancing understanding of heat transfer mechanisms at small scales and their applications in energy systems.

Shuai Gong's research focuses on boiling heat transfer, micro/nano scale phase change heat transfer, multiphase flows, and lattice Boltzmann method. His work explores bubble growth, departure modes, and coalescence in boiling processes, with emphasis on wettable/non-wettable porous foams and microchannel dynamics. Gong investigates surface wettability effects, thermal responses, and vapor phase thermal conductivity in pool boiling. His studies also address bubble interactions, critical heat flux mechanisms, and droplet formation under electric fields. Using lattice Boltzmann simulations, he analyzes phase transitions and heat transfer in microgravity and mesoscale environments, contributing to advancements in high-efficiency thermally-localized solar desalination and microtube surfaces for enhanced boiling performance.
