Prof. Yuehong Su

Brief Bio

Dr. Yuehong Su is a Professor of Thermal Science and Building Technology, Faculty of Engineering, University of Nottingham. He has experience in air conditioning, adsorption/absorption/ejector cooling, energy efficiency, heat storage, daylighting, solar concentration, CFD modelling and building simulation. Dr. Su has worked on a number of projects funded by the EPSRC, EU, UK Government and industry and has published over 60 papers in refereed journals and conferences. He is the supervisor/co-supervisor of several Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers, and the Course Director for MSc Sustainable Energy and Entrepreneurship. Dr. Su has a current research focus on daylighting and natural ventilation in a close collaboration with UK companies to develop various renewable energy solutions for daylighting and natural ventilation in low/zero emissions buildings. Dr. Su is experienced in experimentation and simulation of daylighting and solar concentration systems.
