Tingting Li to Deliver Lecture as Part of the Class of 1963 Scholars in Residence Program Li’s talk “Insights into Low-Carbon Solution in the Current Automotive Industry” will be held Oct. 25 in Science Addition 114.
Tingting LiTingting Li, staff application engineer at Gamma Technologies, LLC, will deliver a lecture titled “Insights into Low-Carbon Solution in the Current Automotive Industry” from 12:45-1:45 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 25 in Science Addition 114. The talk is free and open to the public, and free pizza will be served immediately preceding the event.
Li is visiting W&L as part of the Class of 1963 Scholars in Residence Program, supported by the Physics and Engineering Department and the Office of the Provost. In addition to delivering her seminar lecture, Li will interact with students by visiting an Intro to Engineering class and share her career path experiences as a female engineer. She’ll also advise students from a capstone design course on a car they are building for a Shell Eco-marathon project, and she will further engage students during a Society of Women Engineers event.
Considering that hydrogen and ammonia are promising zero-carbon fuels in addressing the decarbonization challenges of the global mobility turnaround, Dr. Li’s lecture will introduce the method of developing neural network models to predict the laminar flame speed (LFS) of ammonia and hydrogen mixtures under a wide range of engine-like conditions using GT-SUITE 1-D simulation tool. She will also discuss a trend-wise study on LFS varying with hydrogen/ammonia ratios.
“We have a group of enthusiastic engineering students working on these capstone projects, and having Dr. Li on campus allows them to work closely with someone from the automobile industry to gain expert insights,” said Mengying Liu, assistant professor of engineering. “Additionally, as a female engineer, we hope her visit can inspire confidence in our female students to pursue a career in the engineering industry.”
Before joining Gamma Technologies, Li was an analytical calibration engineer with the Ford Motor Company. She holds a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M University.
