Dr. Peiwen Li is full Professor in Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Arizona. His focus of research and teaching is in the area of thermo-science for energy and power engineering. In the recent 10 years, he has worked on heat transfer and heat storage in energy storage systems. Through systematic studies to the phenomenon of heat storage, his research team has addressed all fundamental issues related to thermal energy storage in single or dual-media materials, with or with no phase change. Professor, Associate Head for Graduate Studies, Chair of the Graduate Studies and Research Committee at College of Engineering (Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering), University of Arizona
