معرفی
Teng Cao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London, specializing in the Thermofluids Division. He holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge (2015) and has held roles including Research Associate at the Whittle Laboratory, MHI Senior Research Fellow at Girton College, and College Lecturer. His research focuses on turbomachinery, particularly centrifugal compressors, low-order modeling, fan-intake interactions, and pulsating flow effects on turbine performance. His work bridges numerical simulations and experimental methods to enhance energy system efficiency. He has received the Turbomachinery Committee Best Paper Award from ASME for his study on centrifugal compressor tip leakage flow instability.
Teaching roles include Module Leader for Heat Transfer, Supervisor for the Mechanical Engineering Individual Project, and Tutor for Thermodynamics modules. His research has industrial applications, contributing design tools used in industry. Collaborations with industries address real-world energy system challenges. His interdisciplinary expertise spans mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, applied mathematics, and non-equilibrium fluid dynamics.
