Biography
Dr.Yanqing Guo is a preliminary year tutor in Science & Engineering since 2022. She received her first degree of BEng in Environmental Engineering with first-class honour from the University of Nottingham in 2016, followed by her PhD in Energy Technologies at the University of Nottingham. She worked as a research fellow at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China and in the Advanced Institute of Information Technology Peking University.
Teaching
I have involved in the teaching activities during my PhD in UNNC as a graduate teaching assistant for preliminary year modules such as “Foundation Science A: Physics (CELEN039)” and “Foundation Science B: Chemistry (CELEN040)”. Moreover, I enriched my teaching experience by teaching undergraduate level 3 modules such as “Computer Modeling Technologies (MMME3026) ” and “Advanced Transport Phenomena (CHEE3033)”.
Research interests
- Multiphase Chemical Processing Simulation: Liquid-solid two-way coupling; Multiphase flow turbulence simulation;
- Chemical process design: Reactor design and scale-up; Fluid dynamics simulation of reactor fluid dynamics, chemical reactions, heat and mass transfer process;
- Controllable synthesis of functional materials: Polymerization and emulsification of coating; Preparation of drug delivery carriers; Lithium battery precursor synthesis.
