Yi Zeng joined NREL in 2020. His area of expertise is heat and mass transfer, including fundamental thermal transport theory at nanoscale, phase change heat transfer, and moisture transport in buildings. Prior to joining NREL, Yi was a graduate researcher at Auburn University, Alabama. He worked on molecular dynamics studies of phase transition of n-alkanes mixtures, coupling-decoupling mechanism affecting thermal interfacial conductance of n-alkanes and Fokker-Planck theory of lattice thermal conductivity of crystalline solids.
