Supported by the ‘High-end foreign expert project’ of the ‘Foreign Experts Program’ at Shanghai University of Engineering Science, we invited Dr. Jingliang Dong, Senior Lecturer at Victoria University and an internationally recognized expert in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), to deliver academic presentations and participate in undergraduate teaching activities in September.
Dr. Dong gave two academic presentations (one in Room 8B222 and another in Room 6103) on the topic “Fluid Dynamics Applications in Medical Engineering.” His presentations explored innovative applications of fluid simulation and measurement technologies in medical engineering, including the development of artificial respiratory and cardiovascular computational models, as well as research on novel nasal drug delivery strategies. The cutting-edge research broadened the perspectives of attendees and stimulated strong academic enthusiasm among both faculty and students.
In the teaching component, Dr. Dong contributed to the undergraduate public course “Fundamentals and Applications of Machine Vision.” This course introduces essential principles and tools for quality control in manufacturing processes, automated detection systems, flow visualization, particle and bubble size measurement, and medical imaging applications. During his sessions, Dr. Dong guided students in capturing high-quality experimental images, applying practical software tools for image data processing, and using basic programming techniques to extract basic image information. These activities helped students gain a deeper understanding of fluid measurement principles, technologies, and applications. His engaging teaching style and practical approach were highly praised by students. Beyond classroom teaching, Dr. Dong also shared his experience in curriculum design and laboratory development with young faculty members. He provided mentorship to master’s students on improving research writing skills and contributed to the establishment of a high-level experimental fluid mechanics research team within the university.
This project, hosted by A/Prof. Yidan Shang and strongly supported by the School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, achieved remarkable success and has significantly advanced the university’s international academic impact.
