My area of expertise focuses on the theoretical analysis and optimization on practical combustors via experimental investigations and numerical simulations. My research based on the mechanisms and fundamental insights of combustions, flow fields, etc.. Utilizing advanced optical diagnostics means and fundamental instruments such as constant temperature cell and rapid compression and expansion machines, the research aims to improve combustion efficiency and reduce harmful emissions systematically. My field of research mainly includes:

1. Numerical modeling of combustion and flow fields. This line of research covers various modeling methods such as computational fluid dynamic (CFD) implementation in sprays, thermodynamics, and combustion-related applications; laminar reaction modeling, stochastic reactor models, diesel reforming modeling, etc.

2. Multi-dimensional, high-speed laser diagnostics. Utilizing many laser diagnostics techniques including tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), hyperspectral tomography, planar laser-induced fluorescence, multiple scattering spectroscopy, computed tomography of chemiluminescence, non-intrusive understandings of combustion temperature field, radical concentration distribution, flame structure, spray characteristics can be achieved. Additional, other flexible optical methods using imaging fiber bundles and endoscope are also studied.

3. The design, fabrication, and analysis of fundamental combustion and energy conversion devices. This area includes trajectory controlled rapid compression and expansion machine, opposed-flow diesel reforming reactor via reactive volatilization, mass spec sampling device design and analysis, as well as the developments of novel energy conversion techniques.

4. The application of optimization and statistical algorithms. This line of research includes the application and development of algorithms such as simulated annealing, Monte Carlo, Markov Chain in the field of optical diagnostics and combustion/flow field analysis. More specifically, such application covers the use of novel tomography techniques, simulating and investigate complex physical and chemical phenomena, and assisting the design and optimization of practical reacting devices.
