Biography

Born in Hong Kong and raised in Canada, I began my research career in the Applied Fluid Mechanics Laboratory at UBC, using advanced laser-based diagnostics to investigate the air-blast atomization of viscoelastic liquids. Since moving to Cambridge in 2006, I have been searching for ways to use self-excited hydrodynamic modes in fuel injectors to weaken thermoacoustic instabilities -- a historically recurring problem now plaguing the next generation of low-NOx gas turbines.
