Jialin Su

Dr. Jialin Su is a Lecturer in Fluid Dynamics at Loughborough University, UK. He holds a PhD from Loughborough University (2012-2016) and has prior research experience at Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre, Imperial College London, and NUMECA International. His work focuses on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), gas turbine combustion systems, and acoustic-thermo interactions. Dr. Su's career began in R&D engineering roles at Hewlett-Packard and Seagate Technology in Singapore.

Education:

• BEng and MEng, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
• MSc in Aeronautics from Technical University of Munich
• MSc in Aeronautics from Cranfield University
• PhD in Gas Turbine Aerodynamics from Loughborough University

Research interests include high-order CFD methods for combustion simulation, acoustic forcing effects on fuel injectors, and thermo-acoustic instability mitigation. His work bridges fundamental fluid dynamics principles with industrial applications in aerospace propulsion systems.

Key Achievements:

• Recipient of Rolls-Royce Howes, Ruffles and Parker Award (2016) for doctoral research
• Co-developed methods to model helical modes in aero-engine fuel injectors
• Advances in acoustic impedance prediction for orifice systems

Currently supervising PhD research on high-order CFD for combustion simulations. Previously advised projects at Rolls-Royce UTC and Imperial College's thermo-acoustic research group.
