About
Professor Simone Hochgreb is a distinguished academic in the School of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, specializing in combustion and turbulent reacting flows within the Energy, Fluids and Turbomachinery department. Her research focuses on energy conversion processes and advanced diagnostic techniques for studying complex combustion phenomena.
Her primary research interests include combustion science, turbulent reacting flows, laser diagnostics, thermoacoustics, flame synthesis, aerosols, and hydrogen combustion. Professor Hochgreb has pioneered advanced optical diagnostic techniques for high pressure and temperature flows, with particular emphasis on understanding flame structure and behavior under various conditions.
Her recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on 3D flame surface analysis, turbulent premixed combustion, and the development of novel measurement techniques. The research shows a clear progression toward more complex 3D reconstructions of flame surfaces and increasingly sophisticated diagnostic approaches that capture the intricate dynamics of reacting flows.
