Dr. Rei-Yu Chein received his doctoral degree in mechanical engineering from Washington State University in 1986. Afterward, he joined the Mechanical Engineering Department of National Chung Hsing University (NCHU) in Taiwan as an Associate Professor. His early research work focused on gas-particle flows, micro-nano scale transport phenomena, and electronic cooling. Since 2005, he switched his research topics to energy-related areas such as hydrogen/syngas production, greenhouse gases/waste conversion and re-utilization, energy conversion analysis, and fuel synthesis. He has published over 100 energy-related technical papers.
Dr. Chein currently serves as a professor and Head of Mechanical Engineering Dept. at NCHU. His teaching courses include thermodynamics, energy conversion, convective heat transfer, viscous fluid flow, and numerical analysis.
