Tongguang Wang, Professor of Aerodynamics at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA), is the Chair-Direct of the Chinese Wind Energy Association.
He received his Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in engineering from NUAA in 1983 and 1988, respectively, with his master’s dissertation “Calculation of the Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Aerodynamic Performance in Different Wind Conditions”. He joined the University of Glasgow as a visiting scholar in 1995 and then did his PhD there from 1996 to 1999 and obtained his Degree of Doctor of Philosophy with the dissertation “Unsteady Aerodynamic Modelling of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Performance”. He did postdoctoral research at the University of Glasgow from October 1999 to August 2001 on orthogonal blade/vortex interaction. During this period, he was invited to join in the Wind Turbine Unsteady Aerodynamics Experiment – Blind Comparison. He came back to China and worked for Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics as Associate Professor in 2001. He became full Professor of aerodynamics in 2002.
Wei Zhong, PhD in fluid mechanics, Lecturer of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, has been engaged in the research of wind turbine aerodynamics since 2008.
Yaoru Qian received her Ph.D. from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China in 2018, and is currently a lecturer at the Energy Research Institute of Nanjing Institute of Technology, China. Her work mainly focuses on the study of the fluid mechanics problems related to wind energy.
