Pei-feng Hsu, Ph.D., is a professor of engineering and co-director of the Center for Advanced Coatings. He is an ASME Fellow, an AIAA Associate Fellow and a senior member of ASHRAE.

His research and project interests include:

• Thermal barrier coating thermal gradient testing and finite element analysis of fracture failures
• Radiative properties of random roughness surfaces with and without coating
• Multidimensional radiation heat transfer in flames, combustion systems, and radiating gases with spectrally dependent properties
• Combined mode heat transfer
• Premixed combustion with detailed multistep chemistry kinetics
• Electromagnetic wave scattering of small particles
• Directional and wavelength-selective radiative properties of micro- and nano-scale devices
• Transient radiation processes for optical imaging using ultra-fast light pulses
• HVAC systems
