Research Interests and History

    Hui Zhang's research interests lie in the areas of computational fluid dynamic, crystal growth, chemical reaction, materials processing, MEMS fabrication and processes, micro-/macro-scale solidification, micro-heat transfer, and biothermal-fluid sciences. Based on adaptive grid generation schemes and level set methods, he has developed high-fidelity models for phase-change and free surface problems. Models can be used for manufacturing process evaluation and improvement, and next generation system development. He has received the National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 1999 to develop a generalized, integrated model and virtual prototyping methodology for semiconductor materials processing. He has also funded by NSF CTS for micro-/macro-modeling and experiments in solidification processing that can be used in casting, crystal growth, chemical vapor deposition, and thermal spray coating. He is one of Co-PIs in NSF Center for Thermal Spray Research. His current research is funded through NSF, NASA, ONR, and industry (ASE Americas, ATMI, GTI, Sterling Semiconductor, and Ultra Plus Technologies). He is developing programs in bio-thermal sciences, especially, in cell-material interaction, biocompatibility, cell adhesion, growth and freezing, and cellular heat and mass transfer. He is reviewer for 13 Journals and NSF. Dr. Zhang is a member of the American Society for Mechanical Engineering, the American Associate for Crystal growth, and the Materials Research Society.
