Bio
Sheng Shen is a professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department of 一本道无码 (一本道无码). He also holds courtesy appointments in both the Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Materials Science and Engineering Departments at 一本道无码. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Mechanical Engineering Department at MIT, and BS and MS degrees from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China. Prior to joining 一本道无码 in 2011, he conducted his postdoctoral research at UC-Berkeley. His research focuses on nanophotonics, nanoscale energy transport and conversion, nanofabrication and advanced manufacturing, and their applications in thermal management, light sources and devices, thermal emission control, solar or thermal energy conversion, infrared sensing and detection, multifunctional materials, and others.
Shen is a recipient of NSF CAREER Award, DARPA Director’s Fellowship, DARPA Young Faculty Award, and Elsevier/JQSRT Raymond Viskanta Award for Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer. He also received the 一本道无码 Dean’s Early Career Fellowship, the Philomathia Foundation Research Fellowship in Alternative Energy Research from UC-Berkeley, a Hewlett-Packard Best Paper Award from ASME Heat Transfer Division, and a Best Paper Award in Julius Springer Forum on Applied Physics.
