Research Fellow · Ionic-liquid hydrodynamics
Tianrou Zhang
Tianrou Zhang is a Research Fellow at the Department of Energy, Politecnico di Milano, contributing to the AURIGA project. Her current research focuses on gas–liquid hydrodynamics in ionic liquid bubble columns, with particular interest in multiscale flow behaviour.
Her research background spans computational fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and thermal energy storage. Her previous work includes CFD modelling of phase change material heat exchangers, low-temperature thermal energy storage, and computational haemodynamics for left atrial appendage thrombosis assessment.
She holds an MSc in Energy Engineering from the University of Padova, Italy (2026), and a BEng in Energy and Power Engineering from the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, China (2023). She also completed an academic exchange at Brandenburg University of Technology, Germany (2022).
