Thermoplasmonics

Prof. Guohua Liu received Ph.D. in engineering of thermophysics from Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2010. He obtained his 2nd Ph.D. in micro and nano systems technology at University of South-Eastern Norway (USN), 2013. Currently, he is a full professor at North China Electric Power University. Prof. Liu focuses on the research of thermoplasmonics, heat and mass transfer, multiphase flow and energy systems, leading to some achievements that include: proposing new ideas of digital bubble technology to control boiling heat transfer in microchannels; developing a two-step anodic method to control the fabrication of free-standing crystallized nanotube membranes; and establishing a new concept of thermal boundary layer that has been validated in solar evaporation. He has published more than 100 papers in international journals such as physics reports, chemical society reviews, and nano energy, and three of which are ESI highly cited paper.
