Author Information

Falin Chen Since joining the faculty of the Institute of Applied Mechanics of National Taiwan University in 1989, Professor Falin Chen has devoted himself to three major research fields. Firstly, the stability of fluid flow, which applies to various engineering disciplines, such as alloy casting, film coating, underground water motion, jet, gravity current, and so on. Secondly, the engineering applications by analyzing the ventilation in road tunnels and subway systems to comply with the booming infrastructure development in Taiwan. Recently, due to the global warming issue and the difficult energy situation of Taiwan, he has devoted most of his research effort to energy-related researches, such as the Kuroshio power harness, the water and thermal management of the hydrogen fuel cells, the strategy of CO2 emission abatement. In the past three decades, he has been the author or co-author of more than 110 papers, all are refereed and published in internationally renowned journals such as J. Fluid Mech., Physics of Fluids, Physical Rev. E, Appl. Mech. Rev. (ASME), J. Heat Trans. (ASME), Int. J. Heat Mass Trans., J. Appl. Physics, and J. Power Sources. Fang-Tzu Hsu participated, as representative of Taiwan, in the 2016 International Physics Olympiad held in Zurich, where he won the gold medal award. This prestigious award gained him admission to the National Taiwan University School of Medicine, where he is now a junior. In 2018, he worked as a research assistant for Professor Falin Chen contributing to the preparation of the book How Humankind Created Science .
