Prof. Chuyu Wei is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Hong Kong. He received his B.Sc. degree in Energy Engineering from Zhejiang University in 2015 and his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2020 under the supervision of Prof. R. Mitchell Spearrin. Prior to joining HKU, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow in Prof. Ronald K. Hanson’s research group at Stanford University. Prof. Wei’s research focuses on developing advanced laser-based diagnostics for next-generation energy and propulsion systems. His work integrates fundamental spectroscopy, optomechanical design, and advanced signal processing to create novel sensors for studying reacting flows and energy conversion processes. He has contributed to advances in infrared absorption sensing and imaging, scientific machine learning methods, hydrogen technologies, and the fundamental chemistry of alternative fuels.
