Bo Tian

Bo Tian serves as an Associate Lecturer in Motorsport Engineering within the College of Science and Engineering, where he leads experimental research on combustion processes for sustainable transportation applications. His work bridges fundamental flame dynamics with practical motorsport engineering challenges through advanced diagnostic methodologies.

Dr. Tian's research program centers on three interconnected domains:

• Combustion characteristics of alternative fuels (biodiesel, waste cooking oil derivatives, and dual-fuel systems)
• Advanced laser diagnostics development (LII-PIV, multi-pass extinction, time-resolved thermometry)
• Soot formation mechanisms and emission reduction strategies in engine-relevant configurations

His recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on experimental combustion studies, with 75% of his work involving biodiesel and waste cooking oil fuels. Key methodological approaches include simultaneous velocity-flame imaging, soot quantification in pool and diffusion flames, and chemical kinetic analysis of emission formation pathways. This research directly addresses emissions challenges in high-performance combustion systems.
