Welcome to Tingchang's page
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Weizmann Institute of Science, working under the guidance of Brian Berkowitz. I received my PhD degree from Zhejiang University, China, under the supervision of Sergio Torres at Westlake University. I am studying flow and transport in fractured porous media.

Azrieli 2025 International Postdoctoral Cohort Orientation - Nov 5, 2025
Thanks to the Azrieli Fellows Program, we had a wonderful orientation meeting. I was excited to get to know so many fellows in different fields.
Group Fun Day - Sep 18, 2025
We enjoyed a wonderful lunch together, marking the first time I had the opportunity to share a meal with most of our group members.
Hard Time - Jun 26, 2025
During the Twelve-Day War, international members of the Weizmann Institute of Science were relocated to a hotel in Jerusalem. Throughout the conflict, we gathered in underground shelters approximately three times each night. Over those twelve days, many sought various means to leave Israel, while some of us chose to remain. This is a group photo taken after the ceasefire agreement was reached. I was sitting in the front row, second from the right.
PhD Defense - Jun 5, 2024
I successfully defended my doctoral dissertation on "Flow and Transport in Fractured Media." The defense committee was chaired by Professor Ling Li from Westlake University, with panel members including Professor Moran Wang from Tsinghua University, Professor Lingzao Zeng from Zhejiang University, Professor Yixiang Gan from The University of Sydney, and Professor Liang Lei from Westlake University.
InterPore Conference Presentation - May 14, 2024
I presented my doctoral research at InterPore2024 (Qingdao, China), showcasing our in-house computational code and modeling framework for simulating flow and transport processes in 3D fracture networks.
