Technical Program Committee Chair
| Assoc. Prof. Larry Li Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) , China Dr. Larry Li is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). He received his BASc and MASc in Mechanical Engineering from the University of British Columbia (Canada), where he was a Natural Sciences & Engineering Research Council Scholar in the Applied Fluid Mechanics Laboratory. He then went on to study for a PhD at the University of Cambridge (UK), where he was a Bill & Melinda Gates Scholar. After graduating, he stayed on at Cambridge as a Research Associate before joining HKUST in 2014. His research focuses on fluid mechanics, thermoacoustics and nonlinear dynamics, with applications ranging from aircraft propulsion to spray painting. He has investigated a variety of thermofluid phenomena, including global instabilities in open shear flows, non-Newtonian atomization in crossflows, and forced/mutual synchronization of thermoacoustic modes. His industrial experience includes time spent at Rolls-Royce (UK), LB Foster (Canada) and Coanda Research & Development (Canada). |
