Research summary
AI-generated

Di Qi's research centers on heat and mass transfer in thermal engineering systems, including falling film heat/mass transfer, dehumidification, boiling nucleation, and thermal energy storage cycles using molten salt and carbon dioxide. Recent work also spans machine learning applications for predicting heat transfer performance and computational fluid dynamics methods for tracking liquid-gas interfaces. The publication record includes some titles on unrelated topics (e.g., phytoplankton ecology, commuting behavior, rare-event sampling algorithms), suggesting either broad interdisciplinary collaboration or possible name overlap with other authors in the bibliographic data.
