About
Jingliang Dong, PhD, is currently a Senior Lecturer at the Institute for Sustainable Industries & Liveable Cities (ISILC), Victorai University, and an Adjunct Senior Fellow in the School of Engineering at RMIT University.
Dr. Dong earned his PhD in Biomechanical Engineering from RMIT University in 2015. He subsequently held postdoctoral positions at Chongqing University in China and RMIT University in Australia. In 2020, he was awarded the prestigious Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) by the Australian Research Council (ARC), supporting his work in particle inhalation exposure risk analysis and cross-species data extrapolation between animal and human airways.
To date, Dr. Dong has authored over 100 publications and was named a 2024 Top Scholar by ScholarGPS—an honour recognising the most productive and high-impact researchers in their fields. Dr. Dong continues to lead innovative research that bridges biomedical engineering, fluid dynamics, and environmental science, contributing meaningful solutions to real-world health and sustainability challenges.
Dr. Dong’s research portfolio includes:
- Inhalation therapy and targeted drug delivery
- Hemodynamic analysis of cardiovascular arteries
- Heat and mass transfer in fluid machinery
- Urban microclimate and built environment simulation

Research interests
Dr. Dong’s research focuses on biofluid mechanics in human respiratory and arterial systems, with a strong emphasis on aerosol drug delivery and surgical treatment of vascular and airway diseases. His research publications demonstrate an integrated computational and experimental framework to analyse particle transport, airflow dynamics, and fluid–structure interactions in patient-specific anatomical models. These studies deliver quantitative insights into paediatric airway pathology, post-surgical respiratory performance, and cardiovascular haemodynamics, advancing the understanding of disease mechanisms and supporting the optimisation of drug delivery systems and surgical interventions.
To date, Dr. Dong has produced 114 peer-reviewed research outputs. In the past three years (2023-2026), Dr. Dong has published 29 journal articles (27 of which are in Q1-ranked journals), one edited book, and one book chapter.
Dr. Dong’s publications have received 2,380 citations, with an h-index of 28 and an i10-index of 58 on Google Scholar, and 1,905 citations on Scopus. Notably, 1,255 citations (approximately 54% of the total) have been accrued in the past three years (2023-2026), demonstrating sustained and increasing research impact in recent years. He also holds a ResearchGate Research Interest Score of 1,200, placing him in the top 5% of researchers in Mechanical Engineering and in the top 7% of all ResearchGate members, indicating strong disciplinary standing and broad research visibility.
