Biography
Simone Hochgreb is Professor of Engineering at the University of Cambridge. Her main research interests are in understanding processes in combustion and reacting flows, as relevant to power conversion and industrial processes. She has co-authored over 180 journal publications in engine and gas turbine combustion, reacting flows, measurement methods and thermoacoustics.
Her more recent interests are in the application of optical diagnostics to the measurements of temperatures and species in turbulent flames, hydrogen combustion, thermoacoustics, aerosols and flame synthesis. She is a Fellow of the Combustion Institute, and Distinguished Fellow of the International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration, and she has received the Wolfson Merit Award and the Society of Automotive Engineers Ralph R. Teetor Award.
She will be chairing the next Gordon Research Conference on Laser Diagnostics in Combustion and Reacting Flows in 2025.
