Background
Dr. Yize Liu is a research fellow at Cranfield University, UK. He joined Cranfield as a doctorial researcher at the centre for propulsion engineering in 2015. The research mainly focuses on development of a preliminary design methodology for low emissions aero combustors. Upon graduation, he was working at Cranfield as a research fellow in gas turbine combustor design in 2019. Prior to this, he obtained a 1st class BEng degree (2010-2013) and a distinction MSc degree (2014) in mechanical engineering at the University of Sheffield, UK. He was a technical adviser for Nuffield Foundation Research Scheme in 2015-2017. He is also a reviewer for SCI journals and EI conference proceedings.
