Biography
Dr. Chun Chen received his B.Eng. and M.Eng. degrees from the Department of Building Science at Tsinghua University in 2009 and 2012, respectively. He received his Ph.D. degree from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University in 2015. After his graduate study, he worked as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. Dr. Chen joined the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong as an Assistant Professor in August, 2016. His research interests include indoor air quality, energy-efficient buildings, aerosol dynamics, and airborne infectious disease transmission.
Research Interest
Indoor air quality: modeling, measurement, and control technologies for indoor air pollutants, including particles, ozone, volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds. Energy-efficient buildings: natural ventilation, personalized cooling and heating, and thermal comfort. Aerosol dynamics: computational fluid dynamics simulation, particle dispersion, deposition, penetration, and resuspension. Airborne infectious disease transmission: infectious particle transport in buildings, hospitals, and commercial airliner cabins.
