Yang Liu joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at CCNY as a tenure-track assistant professor in August 2022. Prior to joining CCNY, Dr. Liu was an Assistant Professor at East Carolina University. He was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Aircraft Icing Physics and Anti-/De-icing Technology Laboratory at Iowa State University. He obtained his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from Iowa State University (ISU) in 2016 and B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Beihang University (BUAA) in 2011. His current research interests include blast/shock-flow interactions, blast/shock-surface interactions, high-speed multiphase interactions driven by blast/shock, multiphase flow and heat transfer in additive manufacturing, aircraft icing physics and anti-/de-icing technologies, and unsteady multiphase flow in energy devices. Dr. Liu has published several books and book chapters, 40 peer-reviewed journal papers, and more than 50 conference papers in the field of thermal fluids.
