1 SHENGKAI WANG EDUCATION Phone: +1 (650) Address: 418 Panama Mall, Rm. 106 Stanford, CA, Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 01/2017 Dissertation supervised by Prof. Ronald K. Hanson: Shock Tube / Laser Absorption Study of Aldehydes Kinetics Ph.D. dissertation focused on: (1) the development and application of laser absorption diagnostics for quantitative formaldehyde and acetaldehyde measurements in hydrocarbon combustion systems; (2) shock tube studies of the fundamental rate constants of aldehydes combustion reactions, including the unimolecular decomposition reaction and H-abstraction reactions by H and OH; and (3) the development of cavity-enhanced absorption diagnostics to improve future combustion kinetic studies in shock tubes (initial demonstrations successfully increased the detection sensitivities of several key species by times). Research resulted in over 10 peerreviewed publications. Minored in Electrical Engineering. Specialized in nonlinear optics, laser dynamics, digital signal processing, convex optimization, software and hardware systems M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 06/2012 Majored in Thermosciences B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Peking University, Beijing, China 06/2010 Majored in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Recipient of China s national award (XU Zhilun Prize) for Excellent Students in Mechanics (2008) CURRENT RESEARCH Postdoctoral Scholar Hanson Research Group, Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, CA 10/2016-Present Current research focuses on development and application of precision laser diagnostics for studies of high-temperature gasdynamics, combustion kinetics and novel energy conversion concepts. Representative projects include: (1) Ultra-sensitive and noise-immune laser absorption diagnostic for hydroxyl radical (OH). Project aims to improve OH detection limit in shock tubes and other reactors to 10-ppb level, allowing direct study of OH kinetics in the NTC regime of hydrocarbon oxidation for the first time. (2) Time-resolved cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy for carbon monoxide (CO) in compact reaction systems. Project aims to provide a versatile strategy for interference-free detection of CO at ppb/hz 1/2 -level of normalized sensitivity in compact (1 cm or less) reactor geometry. (3) High-speed and ultra-sensitive laser absorption measurement of excited oxygen atom (O*) in shock-heated oxygen and air at T > 8000 K. Project aims to improve the understanding of energy transfer processes in high-enthalpy air, a scientific problem that is essential to space shuttle reentry and other aeronautic and astronautic applications. PUBLICATIONS Authored 38 publications, including 26 journal articles and 12 conference papers. 1
