- Energy and Environmental Engineering
- Fluid Mechanics
- Advanced Materials for Engineering Applications
- Indoor Air and Ventilation
- Multiphase Flows for Engineering Applications
At CityU, Steven’s group aims to initiate practical engaged solutions to the real-world issues that combine different disciplines. In particular, we aim to tackle the heat/fluid/flow problems using experimental, computational and theoretical approaches. Steven won the Newcastle IFS (Institute of Sustainability) grant in 2017. Steven was a Victoria Fellow (2014), winner of ETH seed grant (2016), awardee of a prestigious Victoria Postdoc Fellowship. He obtained best scientific image award, 2nd place, in annual conference organized by Competence Centre for Materials and Processes ETH (2016).
