Early Academic Pursuits
Dr. Hongbo Guo began his academic journey in 2011 at Harbin Engineering University, where he majored in Energy and Power Engineering within the College of Power and Energy Engineering. Demonstrating a strong interest in simulation and thermodynamics, he published his first academic paper as an undergraduate: “Molecular dynamics simulation of heat transfer characteristics of argon gas-liquid interface” (2015). His early academic path was marked by a positive, energetic attitude and a deep curiosity for scientific knowledge—traits that have remained consistent throughout his career.
Professional Endeavors
Following his graduation, from July 2015 to June 2016, Dr. Guo held a full-time research position at the Research Institute of Power Engineering Technology, where he was primarily responsible for developing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modules in multi-physics coupling software. This role allowed him to bridge theoretical modeling with applied engineering, enhancing his programming skills and experience in software-based simulation of complex fluid dynamics problems.
Advanced Education & Achievements
He returned to Harbin Engineering University in 2016 to pursue his Master’s degree in Power Engineering, and in 2017 began his doctoral studies in Power Engineering and Engineering Thermal Physics. During this period, he earned multiple honors including Merit Student, Excellent Student Cadre, and Excellent League Member, showcasing his leadership skills and academic diligence. His doctoral work was highly productive, resulting in several research papers and a software copyright related to gas-phase detonation calculation.

Dr. Guo’s research is focused on computational simulations, multiphase combustion, molecular dynamics, and laser ignition systems. His most notable works include:
-
“Interfacial layer simulation and effect on Cu-Ar nanofluids thermal conductivity using molecular dynamics method” (Journal of Molecular Liquids, 2018),
-
“Influence of Rotating Detonation Combustion Chamber Height on Flow Field” (Aeroengine, 2019), and
-
“Numerical Investigation of the Direct Initiation Mechanism of Double Point Laser Ignition” (27th ICDERS, 2019).
These studies illustrate his deep expertise in fluid dynamics, nanofluids, and advanced combustion physics, with particular application to aerospace propulsion.
Impact and Influence
Dr. Guo’s work contributes directly to the development of next-generation propulsion systems, particularly through his simulations of rotating detonation engines and studies of thermal conductivity in nanofluids. By combining molecular-scale modeling with macroscopic flow simulations, he has advanced our understanding of how nano-enhanced fluids and ignition mechanisms behave in high-stress environments, providing a scientific basis for improved aerospace engine design.
Academic Citations & Recognition
His publications have appeared in internationally recognized journals and conferences, including the Journal of Molecular Liquids and ICDERS. Though still building his academic citation record, the technical depth and interdisciplinary scope of his research position him as a rising scholar in thermal physics and aerospace engineering.
