Assistant Professor, Schulich School of Engineering

Dr Leo (XiaoHang) Fang joined the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering in 2022. Prior to Calgary, he was an engineering science lecturer at Oriel & Sommerville College, Oxford, and a research fellow of the Thermal Propulsion System Research Group (TPSRG) at the University of Oxford. Previously, he was an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) post-doctoral researcher at the TPSRG. He received a BASc from the University of British Columbia in Mechanical Engineering Thermofluids Option in 2016 and a Ph.D. in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford. Currently, he holds several projects as the principal investigator for the study of novel combustion chamber design and numerical study of abnormal combustion. His research interests are in turbulent combustion and especially novel combustion model development and novel propulsion systems simulation. Dr. Fang is an active reviewer for the journals of Progress in Energy and Combustion Science, Combustion and Flame, Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, Combustion Theory and Modelling, Fuel, Energy & Fuels, Physics of Fluids, International Journal of Engine Research, etc. Dr. Fang currently serves as an Editor for SAE Technical papers and is part of the young editorial board of the Elsevier Journal: Defence Technology.
