Dr. Thibault Guiberti, Assistant Research Professor at CCRC received the Best Presentation Award for Young Researcher at the 18th International Conference on Flow Dynamics that was held on October 27-29th, 2021 in Sendai, Japan.  It was awarded in recognition of quality of content and oral presentation at the ICFD2021 for the paper Quantitative Measurements in Ammonia-Hydrogen Turbulent Jet Flames at Elevated Pressure (the authors are G. Wang, H. Tang, C. Yang, G. Magnotti, W. Roberts, T.F. Guiberti).

The objective of this conference is to explore new horizons in science and technology in Flow Dynamics by discussing and exchanging information related to the most advanced scientific fields and to cutting edge technologies. ICFD is now recognized by the researchers and engineers all over the world as one of the largest and the most important international conferences in the field of Flow Dynamics. It has also been playing an important role in promoting international research collaborations. Especially, ICFD2021 focuses on energy related topics, such as clean energy, hydrogen energy, and natural energy.
