Dr. Zhi Liang, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, is researching something so small that it can’t be seen by the naked eye, but its implications could be so large that the Air Force Office of Scientific Research awarded him a three-year, $600,000 grant.
Liang’s research team is studying microdroplets of fuel that range from a few micrometers to 50 micrometers in size. To put that in perspective, the typical size of a human hair follicle ranges from 50 micrometers to 100 micrometers.
