台大機械系新進老師簡介—孫珍理副教授

Dr. Chen-li Sun received her B.S. from the National Central University, Taiwan in 1994, M.S. from the Stanford University in 1996, and Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 2002, all in Mechanical Engineering. During her graduate study at Berkeley, she worked closely with top scientists at NASA’s Glenn Research Center and conducted microgravity experiments aboard a KC-135A aircraft to explore the Marangoni effects on near-bubble microscale transport during boiling of binary fluid mixtures. From 2002-03, Dr. Sun was a postdoctoral researcher for Professor Al P. Pisano in the Berkeley Sensor and Actuator Center (BSAC), focusing on developing a MEMS dynamic fuel evaporator for a 2.4 mm REPS (Rotary Engine Power System). Dr. Sun joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at National Taiwan University on August 1, 2011, after being on the faculty of National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (2003-11).

Dr. Sun’s industrial experience includes one year with Caesar Technology, Taiwan, where she was an R&D engineer working on the thermal modeling and analysis of plastic BGA (Ball Grid Array) IC package. During the summer of 2001, Dr. Sun was invited to visit Xerox’s Wilson Research Center in Webster, NY to study the formation of vapor blanket from ultra-short pulsed heating for thermal inkjet printhead application.

Dr. Sun’s research interests are in the areas of microfluidics, near-interface microscale phenomena, phase-change heat transfer, and energy systems. Specially, she is interested in exploring innovative measurement techniques for microscale transport in microfluidics. One of the primary application domains is the field of single-cell analysis, for which she is initiating international research collaboration with the University of California at Berkeley and other faculty members within the department.
