Andrea Shen

Andrea Shen is an Assistant Teaching Professor at Syracuse University, holding a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison's Engine Research Center. Her expertise includes combustion processes, internal combustion engines, fuel surrogate development, and optimization methodologies.

• Education: Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from University of Wisconsin–Madison

Her research focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through novel alternative fuels, combining computational modeling with experimental validation in spark-ignition direct-injection engines. She developed optimization methods for gasoline surrogate compositions to mirror real fuels' physical and chemical properties. A dedicated educator, she teaches the 'Design of Machine Elements' course and has mentored numerous graduate and undergraduate students.

Award: Recipient of the Bruce and Alice Tobis Graduate Support Scholarship in Mechanical Engineering.
