Recently, Liu Cunliang, a PhD candidate from School of Power and Energy at NPU, is notifies by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation that he has won the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship and will go to University of Stuttgart in July to carry out a two-year research program there. His winning of the fellowship demonstrates NPU's capability for education.

Under the guidance of Professor Zhu Huiren, his tutor, Liu Cunliang does research on thermal analysis and intensified heat transfer technology, fluid mechanics and gas film cooling. While at NPU, he was a winner of the second prize of the MCM/ICM Contest and a winner of the first prize of the national mathematical modeling contest.

Starting from July 2006 he participated in the National Program 973 and completed the numerical simulation and experiments on the new-type aperture of gas film and its cooling characteristics. He published 16 papers in all, 16 having access to EI and 8 to SCI. His two applications for patent of invention were approved.

These may be the reasons why his application for the Humboldt Fellowship was approved by the Humboldt Foundation. The foundation was established in 1860 and aims at sponsoring the excellent scholars all over the world to do academic research in Germany.
