🎤 About Me
I am Huixin Li, a Special Research Assistant (Postdoctoral Researcher) at the Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. My research focuses on turbulent mixing, wall-bounded turbulence, and optical measurement techniques in experimental fluid mechanics.
I received my Ph.D. in Fluid Mechanics from ZARM, University of Bremen (Germany) under the support of the China Scholarship Council (CSC). During my doctoral studies, I was awarded the ZARM Young Talent Promotion Award (Förderverein ZARM: Nachwuchsförderung). Before that, I obtained my M.Sc. in Fluid Mechanics from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
My research focuses on turbulent scalar mixing in wall-bounded turbulence and experimental optical measurement techniques, with applications in transport phenomena, mixing enhancement, and complex turbulent flows. Researchers and students interested in these topics or potential collaborations are welcome to contact me at lihuixin@imech.ac.cn or WeChat 282494178.
