Yu Zhu received his bachelor and master degree at Tianjin University, China in 2004 and 2007, and his doctor degree at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China in 2013. After his two years postdoc experience at Tsinghua University, China, he joined Tianjin University, China as a faculty in 2015. In the same year, he got the support by Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) to have a two year postdoc research in The University of Tokyo, Japan. Dr. Yu Zhu have published nearly 20 papers in international journals regarding liquid-vapor two-phase flow and flow in porous media. He is also a reviewer for several international journals.
