Wing Yin (Penelope) Kwong (PhD Candidate)

Penelope was the  Experimental Engine Lab's second MASc graduate. After completing her Master's degree, she continued on as PhD student with research focusing on the non-stationary behavior of interacting swirl injectors. She has developed a unique linear combustor array that can be configured to explore many different dynamic combustion phenomena in the same test bed, in isolation or simultaneously. Using this combustor, Penelope will be studying how global and local variations in fuel/air mixing affect stability of the entire array, as well as the effects of alternative fuel composition. Penelope joined the E2 lab in 2012 after receiving her B.A.Sc. in Engineering Science from the University of Toronto.
