Dr. He leads the iDesign lab, whose vision is to create revolutionary analysis, design, and optimization methods and tools to transform educational and research activities in academia and industry. Specifically, our research focuses on developing efficient algorithms and software, such as computational fluid dynamics and adjoint solvers, to understand the fundamental behavior of multidisciplinary engineering systems and to facilitate their design. The applications include aerodynamic, heat transfer, structural, and hydrodynamic analysis, design, and optimization for next-generation land, air, sea, and space vehicles.
