Spotlight on... Professor Kai H. Luo

This week we meet Professor Kai H. Luo, Chair of Energy Systems in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. Here, Kai chats to us about the growth of the UK Consortium on Mesoscale Engineering Sciences, which he established in 2013. What is your role and what does it involve?. I hold the Chair of Energy Systems in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. I do research in the energy field aiming for ever higher energy efficiency and lower impact on the environment and climate. Right now, we are experiencing the most dramatic transformation in energy systems since the Industrial Revolution. My particular research interest is in energy system modelling, design and optimisation, from fuel molecules, via mesoscale devices, all the way up to whole systems.
