Biography
Shuang is currently a Research Fellow in the Thermal Energy group. He finished his PhD in 2022 from ANU, specialising in design and optimisation of a heliostat field and a sodium receiver for next-generation CSP plants. Following his PhD, he worked at Windlab before returning to ANU for research. Shuang holds both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Energy & Power Engineering from Xi'an Jiaotong University, China.
Research
His research focuses on renewable energy system modelling, green hydrogen supply chains, low-cost heat delivery systems, and concentrated solar thermal technologies. He currently works on major projects including the ARENA-funded PV-DEH and the HILT CRC Energy Infrastructure projects.
