To promote academic atmosphere and elevate students’ communication skills, Center for Combustion Energy hosted the “CCE Poster Day” in the afternoon of May 26, 2021.

Presented by student authors, posters were required to be in English, with well-organized and lucid content with figures supported by texts. There were 27 posters joining the event this year, including 8 from the undergraduate course “Research Practice” and many CCE graduate students. Topics include nano-catalyst design, research methods for chemical kinetics, multiphase turbulent flows and heat transfer, laser diagnostics, detonation theory, explosion limits for gases in a space chambers, and flame synthesis for specialty materials.
