Zhifeng Huang studies how heat and light move through gases, flames, and other participating media, developing mathematical and computational methods to calculate radiative heat transfer and reconstruct temperature and gas concentration fields from optical measurements. Recent work also applies deep learning to reconstruct thermal fields from incomplete sensor data and explores related engineering topics like mirror cooling and energy harvesting from waste heat. This research is relevant to students interested in combustion diagnostics, computational heat transfer, and inverse problems in thermal measurement.
