Abstract Title:

Aviation Soot Ice Nucleation: Linking Particle Microphysics to Contrail Formation and Climate Impact

Longfei Chen is a full professor in the School of Energy and Power Engineering at Beihang University, China. Chen is also duty Dean of the Hangzhou International Innovation Institute of Beihang University.  He is a doctoral supervisor and has been sponsored by many programs, including the National Distinguished Young Scientist Fund, the National Outstanding Young Scientist Fund and the Beijing Nova program.

He obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Automotive Engineering from Tsinghua University and completed his Ph.D. in Engineering Science at the University of Oxford in 2010. His research focuses on particle emissions, spray and combustion, and ice nucleation in the atmosphere. Specifically, his work includes (1) developing measurement systems for sub-micron particle emissions, (2) studying heat and mass transfer in multiphase flows, and (3) investigating condensation and ice nucleation of atmospheric particles.

He serves as the Secretary General of the Aviation Internal Combustion Engine Branch of the Chinese Society for Internal Combustion Engines and as a member of the SAE E31 Working Group of the ICAO Emission Standards Committee. His accolades include the First Prize in Technological Innovation awarded by the Chinese Society for IC Engines (2023) and the Chinese Society for Particuology (2023), the National Excellent Young Scholar Award (2019), the China Internal Combustion Engine Society Outstanding Researcher Award (2019), the 4th China-France Team Cooperation Innovation Award (R&D Award, 2017), and the Beijing Science and Technology Nova Star Award (2017). He has published 97 journal papers, 2 English books, 13Chinese Invention Patents, and 1 Utility Model Patents.
