Biography:

Dr. Weiyuan Jiang received a B.S. degree in applied mechanics and a M.S. degree in fluid mechanics from Fudan University, Shanghai in 1993 and 1996, respectively. He worked at Shanghai Institute of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Shanghai University for two years. He received his Ph.D in 2004 from Clarkson University, where he worked on instability of multi-layer fluid motion at the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering. He subsequently joined JCET of UMBC as a research associate. His research interests range from instabilities of fluid motion, film coating, computational fluid dynamics, parallel computation and geodynamo. His research is currently focused on the time-variable gravity caused by large-scale mass redistribution of the mantle and the parallel computation on the MoSST(Modular, Scalable, Self-consistent, Three-dimensional) core dynamics model and the Martian historical dynamo. He currently is a research assistant professor affiliated with the Department of Mechanical Engineering of UMBC.
