معرفی
Heng Zheng is an Assistant Professor at the School of Information Science, University of Kentucky, with research focused on combustion engineering, alternative fuels, and plasma ignition technology. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Groningen (2024) and actively investigates strategies to improve engine efficiency and reduce emissions through advanced ignition systems and fuel characterization.
Research Interests: His work addresses critical challenges in
- lean methane and hydrogen combustion
- plasma resistance control for ignition optimization
- DME fuel injection profiles
- emission reduction technologies
- spark discharge energy scheduling
- combustion dynamics under flow conditions
Publication Trends: Recent articles emphasize plasma-based ignition strategies, oxygenated fuel combustion (DME, ethanol), and emission control systems. Key themes include turbulent flow effects, heat release characterization, and multi-spark discharge optimization for lean-burn engines.
