Dr Lu Xing

Associate Professor

Department: Mechanical and Construction Engineering

Obtained a Ph.D. and master's degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Oklahoma State University, United States, I completed multiple research projects in renewable energy system design and software development funded by the US Department of Energy, in cooperation with Oak Ridge National Laboratory. I was the principal scientific advisor for a project funded by the Innovation to Commercialisation of University Research (ICURe) Programme of Innovate UK and ICURe Exloite; I participated in developing a spin-out battery company Continuous Power as Chief Scientist. I was a principal investigator or co-investigator for 20+ research projects (about £14 million) sponsored by UK EPSRC, energy companies, etc.

Worked across three continents (North America, Asia, and Europe) with multi-cultural backgrounds, worked at different institutes (consultancy company, university, government), and with various collaborators, I published 70+ scientific journals or conference papers in energy system/material modeling, AI in green energy. I delivered several invited talks, including “AI for Green Energy” at Oxford University Innovation and keynote speeches at the 29th CSCST-SCI Conference. I chaired symposiums or sessions at international conferences such as EcoMat 2024 and the 15th International Conference on Materials Processing and Characterization etc.
