Experience
Yunhua joined Pacific Northwest National Laboratory as an Engineer in the Energy Sciences & Technology Directorate in September 20, 2005. Her main research interests include the clean energy development and analysis, chemical process modeling, uncertainty analysis, and air quality modeling. Current projects include the conceptual system design and technology evaluation for near-zero emissions power generation systems for the FutureGen project. In addition, she participates in the development of Hydrogen Analysis Resource Center website and works on developing weekly trend plotting for monitoring data of energy sensors. She is always interested in projects related to energy and environment issues and other projects with modeling and quantitative elements.
Prior to joining PNNL, Yunhua was a research assistant and doctoral student in the department of Civil Engineering at North Carolina State University. She worked on the modeling and evaluation of Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) systems and uncertainty analysis. She received her Ph.D. in December 2004 from the NC State.
