Research Interests

My research interest is twin-fluid spray and its application in improving the atomization of heavy fuels. My research contents include experimental research and theoretical analysis of gas-liquid two-phase flow, droplet dynamics, gas-liquid interaction, injector/atomizer electromagnetic characteristic matching, and drive control. Our future work will focus on the utilization of carbon-neutral fuels and the spray and combustion characteristics of promising e-fuels produced from renewable energy such as methanol, ammonia, and hydrogen.
