Max Peters

Max Peters is a Researcher at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology, specializing in high-pressure hydrogen injection for sustainable combustion systems. His work with the Argon Power Cycle (APC) project (2020–2025) focuses on eliminating NOx, soot, and CO2 emissions through hydrogen fuel integration and optical diagnostics.

Education:

• PhD in Mechanical Engineering (2025), Eindhoven University of Technology, thesis: 'Hydrogen injections for future combustion engines'.
• MSc in Mechanical Engineering (2020), Eindhoven University of Technology, thesis: 'The relevance of cetane number for bio-based future fuels'.

Research Interests: Max’s work bridges Mechanical Engineering and Sustainable Energy, with expertise in hydrogen injection dynamics, combustion efficiency, and emission reduction. His research aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG7: Affordable Clean Energy; SDG13: Climate Action).

Publication Trends: His recent articles/posters (2020–2024) emphasize experimental combustion analysis, optical diagnostics (Rayleigh scattering, LIF), and hydrogen fuel applications. Key themes include high-pressure jet dynamics, APC optimization, and biofuel ignition properties.

Scientific Recognition:

• Combura 2022: Third place for poster on hydrogen injection characterization.

Collaborative Involvement: Active in the Engine Combustion Network (ECN), contributing to hydrogen injection research through invited talks (ECN9, 2023) and workshops (ECN8.4, 2022; ECN9.14, 2025). Collaborated with Prof. J.A. van Oijen and Dr. N.C.J. Maes on APC systems.
