Yupeng Wu

Biography

Dr Yupeng (Jack) Wu is an Associate Professor in Sustainable Energy Technologies, at the University of Nottingham. Dr Wu acts as the Research Leader in 'Low Carbon Building Design and Simulation' in the Department of Architecture and Built Environment. He is also a member of Cleaner Fossil Energy and Carbon Capture Technologies (CFE&CCT) Research Group. Dr Yupeng Wu has been working on building energy simulation and integration of renewable/cleaner fossil energy systems into buildings and built environment over the past ten years. Dr Wu has extensive experience in the design, fabrication and experimental characterisation of the optical and thermal performance of solar systems. He has supervised over 10 PhD students and managed postdoctoral researchers. Dr Wu has worked on and led funded research projects with a total value in excess of £1.5m, exploring energy efficient technologies, solar energy, and advanced solar building facades. His current research is focusing on Solar façade (Building integrated PV, Smart window, Transparent insulation, etc), Thermal Energy Storage, District Heating System, Building energy simulation, Integration of renewable/cleaner fossil energy systems into buildings and built environment. Dr Wu has published over 50 papers in referred journals and refereed conferences contributing to the state of the art in renewable energy technologies and their application to the built environment. Dr Wu served as guest Editor for the journal of 'Buildings', and he is also a reviewer for several scientific journals including Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Renewable Energy, Applied Thermal Engineering, Applied Energy and International Journal of Environmental Studies, etc.
