Profile
Jing Fan joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at CCNY as a tenure-track assistant professor in 2016 and was promoted to tenured associate professor in 2023. She leads a research lab focused on the study of complex fluids and soft materials. Her research interests include the transport phenomena in biological tissues, design and fabrication of functional porous structures, enhanced oil recovery and flood conformance control, physics and applications of microfluidics, foam and emulsion physics, and development of functional particulate materials. Prior to joining CCNY, Dr. Fan was a postdoctoral fellow with Dave Weitz at Harvard University working on microfluidics for materials production, multiphase flow in porous media, and other topics related to the dynamics of complex fluids. Her Ph.D. study at The University of Hong Kong was about multiscale modeling as well as computational heat transfer and fluid dynamics. Jing Fan has received recognition of her work and services through a number of awards, including the NSF CAREER, ACS-PRF Doctoral New Investigator Award, ASME Journal of Heat Transfer Outstanding Reviewer Award, and the Hong Kong Young Scientist Award.

Postdoctoral Fellows
PhD Students
Malgorzata joined the group in August 2021 and will study cell migration using microfluidic cell culture models. Malgorzata is co-supervised by Professor Sihong Wang in BME.
Rossana joined the group in August 2021 as a PhD student and will study effects of interstitial flow on migration of breast cancer cells using dual-gel culture model. Rossana will be co-supervised by Professor Sihong Wang.
Alimohammad Anbari’s main research interests lie in the area of microfluidics ranging from the theory to the design and applications. His current research focuses on developing microfluidic 3D culture platforms to understand interstitial flow’s effects on cancer call migration.
Shuaijun studies transport of soft particles through porous media. with the objective of correlating pore-scale dynamics with macroscopic properties. He conducts both theoretical analysis and experiments in micromodels.
Master’s Students
Mian conducts his master’s thesis project on 3D printing of hydrogel structures.
Undergraduate Students
Krystian is a senior focusing on the fabrication of microfluidics devices, both capillary-based and PDMS-based.
