程泽东  (副教授)

Currently I am interested in the research and development of renewable energy, hydrogen energy, energy storage, energy materials, multi-energy integrated utilizations, and advanced thermo-fluid science and engineering technologies, etc.

Such as solar thermal energy, solar thermochemistry, catalyst & energy storage materials, carbon dioxide and solar fuel, solar desalination & industrial waste salt, heat and mass transfer in porous media or packed beds, advanced heat transfer enhancement technologies, thermal stress & fatigue problems, multi-physics or thermal-dominated management technologies, etc.

 1. Efficient renewable energy & solar thermal energy applications

 2. Concentrated solar collectors & receivers designing and modeling

 3. Optical-thermal-chemical | thermal stress coupling mechanisms

 4. Solar thermochemistry for hydrogen production and energy storage

 5. Catalyst & energy storage materials design and related characteristics

 6. Catalytic chemical reactions in micro-channel or miniture energy systems

 7. Heat and mass transfer and fluid flow in porous media or packed beds

 8. Computational Fluid Dynamics & numerical heat transfer & enhancements

 9. Optical simulations, thermal stress & fatigue analysis and optimizations...
