Department: Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Adviser: Yiguang Ju Year of Study: G2 Undergraduate School: Xi'an Jiaotong University Undergraduate Major: Energy and Power Engineering
My name is Hengrui Xu, and I am a graduate student in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University, working under the guidance of Prof. Yiguang Ju. For more information about my research and background, please feel free to visit my personal website: https://sites.google.com/view/hengruixu/home
Outside of my academic work, I enjoy traveling and staying active through sports.
I am passionate about sustainable energy, and my research focuses on plasma-assisted material synthesis and chemical manufacturing. My current projects include plasma-catalytic ammonia synthesis using ferroelectric barrier discharge, as well as plasma-assisted depolymerization and plastic waste valorization. Overall, my research aims to develop new pathways and materials, while gaining a deeper understanding of their underlying mechanisms, to address climate change and contribute to a more sustainable and renewable future.
Interested in participating in Summer 2027 ReMatch+ program.
