Prof. Ju has been awarded a research grant supported by Chinese Academy of Sciences and started his career in USTC since 2023. In 2024, he was named as “Outstanding Young Scholar” awarded by National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and got promoted to a Professor position. He has been focusing on fire dynamics in wildland and wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires over the past years, including surface flame spread, fire whirl, firebrands, and fire emissions, etc. He is also interested in building/building-integrated photovoltaic fire safety and lithium-ion battery (LIB) safety during transportation. Prof. Ju has co-authored over 30 journal papers and reported his research in ISOC, IAFSS, ISSM, and several other international conferences, one of which on flame flickering inhibition (Phys. Rev. Appl. 19 (2023) 014060) has been featured by well-known media like “New Scientist” and “APS News (front page)”.
