Rate My Professor Yunting Ge

Ge's research specializations encompass built environments, energy conservation technologies, hydrogen systems, and thermofluids, focusing on the development of high-fidelity models for buildings, energy systems, and components. Notable contributions include a CO₂ transcritical compressor model integrated into EnergyPlus and heat-exchanger design software tools adopted by UK companies, as well as an energy-optimised control system model for supermarket refrigeration and HVAC operations. As head of the LSBU Hydrogen Lab, established in 2026 with state-of-the-art metal-hydride test rigs, he leads investigations into thermochemical systems for industrial waste heat recovery, enabling thermal energy transport for heating and cooling. He has secured over £7.133 million in competitive research funding as Principal Investigator from EPSRC and Innovate UK, including the H2-Heat project (EP/T022760/1, £979,291, 2021–2024) for innovative hydrogen technologies and a Smart Grant for high-pressure metal hydride hydrogen storage (£1,029,423, 2022–2024). A Fellow of the Institute of Refrigeration, he serves as President of IIR Commission E1 and Associate Editor for Energy Reports. Ge has authored more than 170 peer-reviewed journal publications and international conference papers, including 'Performance Analysis of a Single-Stage Metal Hydride Hydrogen Compression System' (2025), 'Enhancing Wind Energy Utilization Efficiency by Optimizing a Darrieus Vertical Axis Wind Turbine with Auxiliary Blades' (2026), and 'Energy and exergy analysis of a biomass-CO2 transcritical brayton cycle' (2025). His scholarship has attracted over 4,000 citations on Google Scholar, and he has supervised more than 13 PhD researchers and postdoctoral fellows.
