Liu Yu

Liu Yu is a tenured Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanics and Aerospace Engineering, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech). He holds a PhD in Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Cambridge (2008), an MSc (2004) and BSc (2001) from Beihang University.

• Academic Leadership: Deputy Head (Education) at SUSTech, Associate Fellow of AIAA, Fellow of Royal Aeronautical Society
• Research Grants: Led 18 projects totaling ~¥9.5M, including NSFC General Program and Guangdong High-Level University Fund

His research focuses on:

• Aerodynamic Noise Mechanisms: Airfoil noise, UAV rotor noise, combustion noise modeling
• Flow Control: Structured porous materials, active/passive noise suppression
• Testing Technology: Microphone array design, deep learning sound source imaging

Publication trends show specialization in:

• Flow-acoustic interaction modeling
• Composite structure noise transmission
• Combustion noise prediction
• Experimental aeroacoustics (60+ journals reviewed)

Scientific recognition includes:

• Cambridge Gates Scholar
• National Scholarship for Outstanding Self-funded Students
• Stanford/Elsevier Top 2% Global Scientists in Aerospace
• Huawei Spark Award

He established SUSTech's Advanced Aerodynamics and Aeroacoustics Laboratory, overseeing construction of Shenzhen's first-class Aerodynamic and Acoustic Wind Tunnel.
