Prof. FU Lin Received 19th Youth Science and Technology Award of the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics
Prof. FU Lin, Assistant Professor of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, received the 19th Youth Science and Technology Award from the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (CSTAM). The award was presented on July 19 at the Chinese Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 2025 (CCTAM 2025) in Changsha, China. The event attracted around 5,000 scholars, experts and industry professionals to explore the latest development and innovative applications of mechanics.
Established in 1988, this prestigious award recognizes young scientists and technologists who make outstanding contributions in the field of mechanics. It is given biennially to exemplary young scholars selected from all areas of mechanics in China, with 10 awardees this year.
Prof. Fu Lin obtained his DEng in Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in 2017. He worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University and TUM before joining HKUST in 2021. He was recognized with an Early Career Award (ECA) by the Research Grants Council (RGC) of Hong Kong in 2022 and an Excellent Young Scientists Fund of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC-EYS) in 2024.
Prof. Fu’s research focuses on the fundamental study of flow physics including turbulence, transitional flows, multi-phase flows, and magnetic fluids. His research dedicates to an improved theoretical understanding of these complex fluids and contributes to optimizing the engineering quantities of interest, such as drag, heat transfer, and mixing ratio. The potential applications involve the flow control of transonic and low-speed vehicles, scramjet hypersonic propulsion systems, combustions, microbubble dynamics, cavitation, aerodynamics, etc.
