Welcome to the E.T. Lab !
Energy Transport Laboratory (E.T. Lab) is a research group led by Prof. Dr. Guangzhao Qin at the State Key Laboratory of Advanced Design and Manufacturing for Vehicle Body and the College of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, Hunan University, China. The E.T. Lab is dedicated to solving the challenging problems in seeking next-generation technologies for energy applications, which would be economic, sustainable (renewable), clean (environment-friendly), etc. Through cross-field tools primarily developing and implementing advanced numerical methods, together with experimental approaches, we study the energy transport and conversion processes at multi-time and -length scales, including fundamental physics and industrial/technical applications.

LAB OPENING
Undergraduate Research Opportunities: We are looking for highly motivated undergraduate students to join our lab. Being an interdisciplinary group, we have projects for students with different backgrounds and interests. Undergraduate students are also encouraged to publish their research results. Computational programming skills and English would be a strong plus.
Graduate students with a background in mathematics, mechanical engineering (especially heat transfer), materials science, electrical engineering, physics, chemistry, or related fields are welcome to get in touch. Prior experience in the related areas is NOT a must. Computational programming skills would be a strong plus.
Postdoc: We currently have a few postdoc openings. Interested postdoc candidates can get in touch.
Visiting scholars are welcome to contact Prof. Dr. Guangzhao Qin to discuss projects of mutual interest.
