	 I am a
  Research Professor at Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maryland 
	at College Park, 
	and working for the Center for Environmental Energy Engineering (CEEE) as an 
	Associate Director.
   My research focuses on developing comprehensive information for 
	the detailed physics of transport processes, new cost-effective test 
	methods, and innovative components and system. My career spans 
	thirty years, including ten years of industrial
  experience.  I am responsible for Alternative Cooling Technologies 
	and Applications Consortium (ACTA) that is
  sponsored by the industry, government and research institutions.    My service
  includes international activities such as a chair of Life Cycle Climate 
	Performance Working Party and a Vice President of Commission B1 of the
  International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR).  Nationally, I am an
  active member of the American Society of Heating Refrigeration and
  Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the American Society of Mechanical
  Engineers (ASME), and Society of Automobile Engineer (SAE). Awards received are as 
	follows:
