About Him
Dr. Dapeng Liu is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at KAUST and previously served as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at CUHK. He has been recognized for his exceptional research contributions and was awarded the prestigious Bernard Lewis Fellowship at the 39th International Symposium on Combustion in August 2022. Dr. Liu obtained his Ph.D. degree from KAUST in 2021, building upon his strong foundation in Energy and Power Engineering with his undergraduate studies at Xi’an Jiaotong University.
With a primary focus on investigating environment-friendly energy sources and technologies, Dr. Liu employs various UV absorption diagnostic schemes in a kinetics shock tube. This unique experimental configuration enables in situ, non-intrusive, highly sensitive, and time-resolved investigation of key reactions in combustion, providing insights that are otherwise challenging to obtain. Dr. Liu’s research contributes to advancing our understanding of combustion processes and paves the way for more sustainable energy solutions.
