Hsi-Wu Wong

Dr. Wong is a Principal Chemical Engineer at ARI. He is currently involved in research projects studying aerosol dynamics, combustion chemistry, polymer chemistry, and catalysis surface chemistry. At ARI, he has served Principal Investigator on several research programs, including a NASA sponsored project to model volatile particle emissions from gas turbine engines, a NASA Phase II SBIR project to model emissions performance of gas turbine engines, and a FAA sponsored project to study the formation mechanisms of aircraft emitted contrail ice particles. Dr. Wong obtained his Ph.D. at Northwestern University, where he studied reaction kinetics of polymer degradation chemistry and silicon nanoparticle formation chemistry. He was also a postdoctoral researcher at MIT, where he worked on developing detailed kinetic models for predicting yield bounds of selective propylene oxidation on bifunctional catalysts.
