Biography

Dr. Bin Wu is now a postdoctoral fellow working with Prof. William L. Roberts at CERP.  He obtained his Ph.D. degree from the School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech, focusing on the fundamental studies of ozone-assisted combustion. After joining KAUST in 2022, he has expanded his research area and interests to the development of advanced laser diagnostics and hydrogen combustion related topics.

Research Interests

Dr. Bin Wu's research interests are mainly focused on the development and application of advanced laser diagnostic tools for combustion and clean-energy related studies. Techniques include but not limited to Spontaneous Raman scattering, Rayleigh scattering, planar laser-induced fluorescence and etc. He is also interested in the studies of new concepts in active combustion control, such as plasma and ozone-assisted combustion at extreme conditions.
