Research Directions

My research work is primarily devoted to the basic and applied studies on photothermal radiation characteristics and coupled heat transfer. It focuses on the mechanisms and numerical calculation methods of radiation transfer, infrared radiation characteristics of targets, high-temperature flame temperature measurement, and optimization algorithms for radiative inverse problems. Relevant research efforts include numerical simulations and experimental studies covering: coupled radiative heat transfer in high-temperature combustors of aero-engines, inversion of three-dimensional temperature and concentration fields of high-temperature flames, calculation of infrared radiation characteristics of engine exhaust plumes and aircraft skins, as well as measurement of photothermal radiation characteristics of translucent medium materials.
