Dr Zhennan Zhu

Summary

Zhennan Zhu is a Postdoc researcher in Department of Chemical Engineering (Supervisor Dr Mehmet Mercangoz), Imperial College London. Prior to joining Imperial College London, he was a Ph.D. candidate in University of Sussex (2019~2023). 

Zhennan Zhu's previous research interest were the laminar burning characteristics of alternative fuel (Master research topic 2016~2019) and the measurement, modelling and control of the refrigeration system using linear compressor (PhD research topic 2019~2022). His current research interest focuses on the modelling of a thermo-electric energy storage system for grid-scale utility.
