Dr Qinling Li MSc, PhD
Senior Lecturer
Summary
Qinling is a senior lecturer in thermo-fluids. She is interested in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodology and applications. Before moving to Sheffield Hallam, she was a research associate in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP), University of Cambridge.
About
Qinling also spent part time in the CFD Lab, which is part of the Acoustics, Fluid Mechanics, Turbomachinery and Thermodynamics Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge.
From 2003-2006, she worked as a research associate in the Aeronautical and Automatics Engineering Department, Loughborough University.
She studied for a PhD degree in the Aerodynamic Flight Mechanics Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Group, Southampton University, in 2003. Qinling obtained her first and master degrees, and used to be a lecturer, at Xi'an Jiaotong University, China.
