Born and bred close to the Shanghai International Circuit, I am a passionate motorsport fan and petrolhead. Alongside my PhD focusing on the simulations of Turbocharged Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines, I also work on vehicle restoration and modification projects in my house garage, participate in karting racing, and am dedicated to the diecast model collection and LEGO technics building. I am a dedicated and quick learner and am looking forward to working in the Motorsport and Automotive Industry.
PhD research area: Simulations of Turbocharged Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines by adapting Active Pre-chamber and Variable Divided Exhaust Period to reduce pumping loss as well as turbo inlet temperature. - Collected a wide variety of knowledge on Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine technologies histories and developments. - Used GT Power to simulate the application of Divided Exhaust Ports and Pre Chamber technologies to the Hydrogen Combustion Engines, collected data such as BMEP and BSFC and compared its performance to the baseline model. - Used CFD simulation to estimate the combustion behaviour inside the chamber of a Hydrogen Combustion Engine. - Used Ricardo WAVE to convert a gasoline baseline engine running Hydrogen and collected 1D simulation data.
- Undergraduate Modules Tutoring: Including Turbocharging and Engine Boosting, Thermodynamics, Solid Mechanics, Thermal Power and Heat Transfer, Internal Combustion Engine Technology, Instrumentation electronics and electrical drives, Vehicle Engineering, Aircraft performance and design, and Vehicle Dynamics. - Undergraduate Experiments Supervision: Supervise and lead various Undergraduate Experimentation modules including Bridge Building Lab, Belt Drive Lab, Air Jet Lab, Materials Test Lab, Instrumentation and Electronics Lab.
As an alumnus, I offer suggestions for my former high school students participating in F1 in Schools, an international STEM competition for school children, in which groups of 3–6 students have to design and build a miniature car out of the official F1 Model Block using CAD/CAM design tools.
In my final year, I changed to take charge of the thermal management/cooling system of the powertrain. My role includes using Matlab to create a 1-D radiator heat transfer model and designing the radiator based on the airflow. Designing the thermal management and cooling system for the KTM 500 race engine. Testing the feasibility of using brushless drone motors and propellers to replace the traditional radiator fans. Testing the correlation between the inclination and cooling effect of the radiator. The Final Year Project Thesis is Optimisation of the cooling system on a Formula Student vehicle
In my third year, I was in charge of the design and development of the rear inboard suspension of Team Bath Racing's 2020 car, TBR20. I used Autodesk Nastran to analyze the stress and deflection in the clevises and rod ends of the rear inboard suspension.
- Worked at the till as well as arranged and organised the products on the shelf. - Enhanced my ability of communication, teamwork, and time management.
