Jun Li is interested in designing surfaces to control the accretion of various matter and incorporating them into thermal fluid components and systems. He is also interested in understanding the fundamentals in phase-change heat transfer and multiphase flow, with the end goal of applying them to innovate/improve energy systems and ultimately reduce the global energy consumption.
