Biography
Dr Tang read for an MEng in Engineering, Economics and Management at Balliol College, Oxford, graduating in 2006 with a first class degree having also been awarded the Edgell Sheppee prize, Lubbock prize and Lubbock scholarship. He subsequently remained at Balliol for my DPhil, performing research into turbine blade tip cooling in civil aerospace jet engines for Rolls-Royce. Following a brief stint at Lotus F1 Team in as a computational aerodynamicist, he returned to the Oxford Thermofluids Institute, joining the Active Flow Control group as a post-doctoral researcher at the end of 2013.
Research Interests

- Liquid crystal thermography
Current Projects
Powerplant Integration of Novel Engine Systems (PINES) - a £28.2 million project funded by Innovate UK, combining expertise from academic partners the University of Oxford, Cranfield University, the University of Nottingham, and the University of Sheffield, as well as industrial partners Rolls-Royce and Parker Meggitt. In this project, a next-generation, fluidically controlled modulated air system is being developed at Oxford for civil aerospace turbofan engines, which will significantly reduce fuel burn and emitted pollution.
Liquid Hydrogen Gas Turbine (LH2GT) - a £31.4 million project funded by Innovate UK, combining expertise from academic partners the University of Oxford, Cranfield University, and University College London, as well as industrial partners Rolls-Royce, Heathrow Airport, Easyjet, Manufacturing Technology Centre and Reaction Engines. In this project, development of crucial new technologies needed for zero-carbon, hydrogen-fuelled aviation engines is being developed at Oxford, including a novel fuel pump, the hydrogen-air heat exchanger and fuel flow control and metering valves.
