HO Jin Yao joined the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering on 27 December 2021 as Assistant Professor, under the ThermoFluids & Marine Engineering Cluster.
Dr Ho obtained his Bachelor of Engineering, Master of Engineering and Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering in 2010, 2014 and 2019 respectively, from Nanyang Technological University (NTU). He had worked for Defense Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) as a Project Engineer in Air System Division from June 2010 to September 2011, and as a Mechanical Engineer for WSP Consultancy Pte Ltd from September 2011 to June 2015. He was Research Associate at MAE’s Heat Transfer Laboratory and Singapore Center for 3D Printing (SC3DP) from June 2015 to July 2019 and was subsequently appointed as Research Fellow from July 2019 to February 2020. Between March 2020 and December 2021, he undertook his postdoctoral training in the Energy Transport Research Laboratory at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).
Dr Ho is a Registered Professional Engineer (Mechanical) in Singapore and his research interests focuses on the development of advanced thermal devices using additive manufactured designs to enhance condensation; boiling and phase change heat transfer; and the development of micro/nanostructured metal additively manufactured materials to promote interfacial transport of heat and mass.
