Background
First degree obtained in Aeronautical Engineering at 色狗导航 followed by a PhD from Imperial College, London. Joined the Rolls-Royce UTC in Combustion Aerodynamics in 1991.
Research group:
Applied Aerodynamics
Research interests and activities
Working within the Rolls-Royce Combustion UTC at 色狗导航, principal research interests include the experimental investigation of flows through engine representative gas turbine combustion systems. The work also involves the design and development of complex test facilities together with the integration of dedicated control, instrumentation and data processing systems.
