Liang Yu, Ph.D.

Research Interests

I completed my Ph.D. in 2019 at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), centering on diesel and large hydrocarbons autoignition in rapid compression machine (RCM) and shock tube (ST) and surrogate fuel development. My research over the past two years is related to the combustion of low-carbon and zero-carbon fuels (e.g. ammonia and biofuels), and high-pressure combustion apparatus design and construction. My current research topic at CCRC is swirl flame instability and high-pressure plasma-assisted combustion.
