Researcher

Chang Wei Kang is the Director of the Fluid Dynamics (FD) Department at A*STAR’s Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC), where he works closely with a multidisciplinary group of scientists and engineers to develop cutting edge modelling and simulation technology for fluid flow, thermal/mass transfer and fluid related multi-physics applications. The research focuses on the insight of fluid physics, advanced flow solutions and acceleration of fluid flow simulations; and supports industry innovations through simulation and design optimisation. Concurrently, he is Co-Director of the A*STAR Centre for Maritime Digitalisation (C4MD), Lead of the Environmental Transmission & Mitigation Co-Operative, PREPARE (the Programme for Research in Epidemic Preparedness And Response), Visiting Adviser to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) and External Expert of the Expert Panel at Home Team Science & Technology Agency (HTX). Kang has received numerous awards, including the 2022 Public Administration Medal (Bronze), and the 2023 and 2023 MTI Firefly Innovative Project/Policy Gold Award, among others.
