About
Ph.D. Candidate · Assistant
Shixian Liu
I am currently a Ph.D. candidate and Assistant at Bauman Moscow State Technical University. My research focuses on heat conduction at micro- and nanoscale, combining computational methods with theoretical analysis.
I mainly investigate phonon transport in nanostructures and low-dimensional systems, with an emphasis on bridging microscopic mechanisms and practical thermal management in electronic and energy devices.
