Chuyu Wei

Prof. Chuyu Wei is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Hong Kong. He received his B.Sc. degree in Energy Engineering from Zhejiang University in 2015 and his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2020 under the supervision of Prof. R. Mitchell Spearrin. Prior to joining HKU, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow in Prof. Ronald K. Hanson’s research group at Stanford University. His research focuses on developing advanced laser-based diagnostics for next-generation energy and propulsion systems, integrating fundamental spectroscopy, optomechanical design, and advanced signal processing to create novel sensors for studying reacting flows and energy conversion processes.

Chuyu Wei is an Assistant Professor at The University of Hong Kong, specializing in applied spectroscopy, combustion diagnostics, energy conversion, tomography, and computational imaging. His research focuses on developing advanced diagnostic techniques for combustion processes, including tomographic laser absorption imaging and computational methods for reconstructing 3D species and temperature distributions. Wei's work also explores energy conversion through solar-thermal processes and methane decomposition, as well as the application of machine learning for improving laser absorption imaging in reacting flows. His studies contribute to understanding complex thermochemical phenomena and enhancing the accuracy of spectroscopic measurements in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.
