Yuwen Zhang is a Chinese-American professor of mechanical engineering. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Aerospace Engineering at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri.

Education and career

Yuwen Zhang earned his B.E. degree in thermal turbomachinery, M.E. and D.Eng. degrees in engineering thermophysics from Xi'an Jiaotong University, in 1985, 1988 and 1991, respectively. He taught in Xi'an Jiaotong University from 1991 to 1994 and was a research associate at Wright State University (1994-1995) and University of Connecticut (1995-1996). He received a Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Connecticut in 1998. He was a research scientist at University of Connecticut and a senior engineer at Thermoflow, Inc. before joining the Department of Mechanical Engineering at New Mexico State University as an assistant professor in 2001. He joined the faculty at the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) Department in the University of Missouri (MU) in 2003 as an associate professor and was promoted to full professor in 2009. He held a James C. Dowell Professorship (2012-2018) and served as the Chairman of the MAE Department (2013-2017).

Research

Yuwen Zhang's research interests are in the areas of thermal and fluids sciences with applications in laser-matter interaction, thermal management, and energy storage and conversion. He has developed multiscale multi-physics models for laser-based nanomanufacturing, high-energy lasers, and thermal management for electronics and energy systems. He has published six books, over 300 journal papers and more than 175 conference papers.

Professional Services

Yuwen Zhang is the Co-Editor-in-Chief for Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer (FHMT), Associate Editor for ASME Journal of Heat Transfer, as well as editorial board member for eight other journals. As a Fellow of ASME, he was the Chair (2012-2014) and the Vice Chair (2009-2012) of the K-15 Committee on Transport Phenomena in Manufacturing and Materials Processing of the ASME Heat Transfer Division. As an Associate Fellow of AIAA, he was a Member of the AIAA Thermophysics Technical Committee (2008–2011). He is also Fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and member of American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). In these capacities, he has served as track chair and session chairs for numerous national and international conferences.
