Biography:

Zhang Xiaoyuan, Ph.D., Professor, doctoral supervisor, has long been engaged in the research on combustion and energy conversion reaction kinetics. She was selected as the “Talent Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences”, received the “Outstanding Youth Foundation” from National Natural Science Foundation, and won “Bernard Lewis Fellowship”, the highest award for young scientists from the International Combustion Institute. She has published more than 50 SCI papers, including Prog. Energy Combust. Sci. (IF=32) and one “ESI Highly Cited Paper.” She served as the session chair for the 38th and 39th International Symposium on Combustion etc.

Research Interest:

Zero-carbon Combustion Technology

What You Can Expect in the Project:

The co-combustion of ammonia and hydroperoxide is a promising zero-carbon strategy in future industry application. In this project, you will participate in the reactor design for ammonia/hydroperoxide co-combustion, and learn to adopt numerical simulation methods to optimize the operation conditions to achieve high-efficient and clean combustion.

Desired skill and background:

You need to have some basic knowledge on mechanical design, and programing ability is a strong plus.
