Biography

Joey Gu is a Lecturer in the Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT. He teaches or has taught core undergraduate (UG) and graduate (G) residential subjects in chemical engineering such as 10.50 transport phenomena (G), 10.34 numerical methods (G), 10.213 thermodynamics (UG), and 10.10 introduction to chemical engineering (UG), receiving MIT’s student-nominated Teaching with Digital Technology Award in 2022. Joey works with chemical engineering faculty to produce a variety of digital learning content for use in both residential teaching and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Notable projects include the nine-module 10.50x/r Analysis of Transport Phenomena series (finalist for the 2019 edX Prize), 10.MBCx/r Math Boot Camp for Engineers, 10.S95x Physics of COVID-19 Transmission, and 10.213r Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics. Joey earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from MIT in 2019, where he worked on a theory of hysteresis in multiphase flow in porous media. He also holds an M.S. in Chemical Engineering Practice from MIT and a B.E.(Hon) in Chemical and Materials Engineering from the University of Auckland, New Zealand.
