About Me

Welcome to my website. My name is Yanbing Dai (代晏冰).

I’m currently a first-year Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering at University of Maryland (UMD), advised by Prof. Vikrant Aute. Before joining UMD, I earned an M.Eng. (2025) and a B.Eng. (2021) in Energy and Power Engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University, where I worked with Prof. Xiaoqu Han.

My research focuses on developing highly-efficient energy conversion systems and analyzing their energetic, exergetic, economic, and environmental performance. These investigations are vital for resolving today’s global energy crisis and achieving climate change mitigation objectives. I am excited to contribute to this rapidly evolving field.
