Dr. Wenkun Zhu has been engaged in the application of advanced laser diagnostics to complex combustion and multiphase flow systems, with research spanning biomass and coal combustion, mineral release, soot formation, and near-wall turbulent scalar transport. During his Ph.D. and postdoctoral studies, he systematically developed multi-parameter diagnostic techniques—including laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), laser-induced incandescence (LII), particle image velocimetry (PIV), and ultrafast imaging—enabling in-depth visualization and quantitative analysis of combustion kinetics, structural evolution, and turbulent scalar dynamics. He has participated in several major research projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and the German Research Foundation (DFG). To date, Dr. Zhu has published 35 peer-reviewed papers, including more than 17 SCI-indexed first- or corresponding-author articles in leading journals such as Combustion and Flame, several of which were featured as cover articles. He also holds five authorized Chinese invention patents.
