Dr Shunmin Zhu
Biography | Dr Shunmin Zhu is a Marie Curie Fellow working at the Department of Engineering, Durham University. Before joining Durham University, he worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Clean Energy Processes Laboratory, Department of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London and the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry (TIPC), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), respectively. Dr Zhu received his Ph.D. degree (Outstanding Graduate Award) from TIPC, CAS in 2020. In 2019, he also gained research experience at the University of Sussex sponsored by the UK-China Newton Fund Ph.D. placement program. Dr Zhu’s research aims to develop advanced thermal energy technologies for providing power, heating and cooling that can be applied in residential combined heat and power (CHP), waste heat recovery, solar, and other areas. Specifically, his research interests include free-piston internal/external combustion and free-piston Stirling engines, novel thermoacoustic power generation technologies, and hybrid renewable energy systems. Currently, Dr Zhu is an Associate Editor of Frontiers in Thermal Engineering journal. |
