Biography
Dr Chan Weng Kong obtained his Bachelor of Engineering (Hon.) from the National University of Singapore and his Dr.Ing from ENSAM (Paris). He is currently an Associate Professor in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. He teaches fluid mechanics related courses in the school. He has more than a hundred international refereed conference publications and journal papers.
Research Interests
His research interests are analytical and experimental fluid mechanics. This includes investigations of flow in turbomachineries, design of assist devices and investigations of flow patterns in ventricular assist devices. Other research areas include the modeling of slip flow in micro-channels and start-up flows in nano-channels.
