Xinyan Wang

Professor Xinyan Wang is a leading academic at Brunel University London, affiliated with the College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences and the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. He serves as a Principal Editor for Fuel (Elsevier), editorial board member for multiple journals, and committee member for Hydrogen Europe Research and UK Chinese Society of Automotive Engineering.

• PhD, Power Machinery and Engineering, Tianjin University
• MSc, Power Machinery and Engineering, Tianjin University
• BEng, Thermal Energy and Power Engineering, Jiangsu University

His research focuses on low-carbon fuel technologies for internal combustion engines, including hydrogen/ammonia combustion, biofuels, and nanobubble applications. He develops advanced hybrid electric systems and specializes in engine design optimization for alternative fuels. His work spans experimental investigations, computational modeling (CFD/MD/Chemkin), and optical diagnostics of combustion processes.

Recent publications (2024-2025) highlight trends in hydrogen combustion analysis, nanofluid applications, dual-fuel strategies, and 2-stroke engine optimization. Key themes include emission reduction, ignition process decoupling, and integration of machine learning with molecular simulations for fuel characterization.

• UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship (2020)
• Editorial roles at Fuel, Highlights of Vehicles, and MDPI journals
• BSI committee member for fine bubble technology

He supervises research on topics including zero-carbon fuel combustion, numerical simulations (chemical kinetics, CFD), and optical diagnostics for spray/combustion analysis. His teaching includes vehicle propulsion systems and major engineering projects at undergraduate/graduate levels.
