Personal Statement

Graduated from the School of Energy and Power Engineering, Xi’an Jiaotong University with a Ph.D. degree in 2001. In January 2002, she began her postdoctoral research at Beijing University of Technology. Since October 2003, She has been engaged in teaching and scientific research at Beijing University of Technology, mainly focusing on molten salt heat transfer and thermal storage for applications in solar thermal power generation, flexibility regulation of thermal power plants, renewable energy utilization, and industrial waste heat recovery. Currently, She is engaged in research on the coupling of solar energy and coal-fired units for integrated solar-coal power generation. This research includes the development of low-melting-point mixed molten salts, the design and performance enhancement of steam-molten salt heat exchangers, and the prediction of fatigue life of large molten salt storage tanks under frequent charging and discharging conditions.
