CLEAN Lab

CLEAN Lab is based in the Department of Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. We study combustion dynamics to develop cleaner, quieter, and safer energy and propulsion systems.

Research focus

• Carbon-free energy — Study hydrogen and ammonia combustion for low-carbon energy systems.
• Low-noise design — Understand and control combustion-driven oscillations and noise.
• Energy utilization — Improve how combustion systems convert fuel energy into useful power.
• AI for combustion — Use machine learning and data-driven models to analyze and predict combustion dynamics.
• Aerospace propulsion — Investigate combustion stability in gas turbines and rocket engines.
