I’m Chuanjin Su, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UCLA, where I work in heat and mass transfer under the supervision of Prof. Yongjie Hu. My research focuses on nanoscale heat transfer, with an emphasis on first-principles modeling of phonon and electron interactions and transport. More broadly, I am interested in integrating theoretical and computational approaches, including first-principles calculations, molecular dynamics, and transport theory, to understand thermal transport phenomena across multiple scales.

Before joining UCLA, I earned an M.S. in Engineering Thermophysics from Tsinghua University, where I was advised by Prof. Zeng-Yuan Guo and Prof. Bing-Yang Cao. My master’s thesis was titled “Relativistic Basis of the Thermomass Theory”.

I also received a B.S. in Mathematics from Université Paris-Sud (Paris XI, now part of Paris-Saclay), a diplôme d’ingénieur from École CentraleSupélec (formerly École Centrale Paris) through the Sino-French “4+4” double-degree program, and a B.E. from Tsinghua University.
