Dr. Luc-Sy TRAN is currently a Research Scientist at CNRS, working within the PC2A Laboratory (UMR 7275) at the University of Lille, France. His research focuses on the combustion chemistry of advanced biofuels and the formation of heavy pollutant compounds during biofuel combustion.

Dr. Tran earned his Engineering Diploma in Propulsion and Thermal Engines from Da Nang University of Science and Technology, Vietnam, and completed his MSc degree in Thermal and Energy from INSA-Lyon, France. He received his PhD in Process Engineering and Products from the University of Lorraine, France, with his doctoral research conducted at LRGP-CNRS-Nancy under the guidance of Dr. P.-A. Glaude and Dr. F. Battin‑Leclerc in 2013. Following this, he worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at LCT-Ghent University, Belgium, with Prof. K. Van Geem in 2014. He was later awarded an Alexander von Humboltd Foundation fellowship to perform research in Prof. K. Kohse-Höinghaus’s group at the Department of Chemistry, Bielefeld University, Germany. His extensive experience includes conducting several experimental campaigns at NSRL (Hefei, China), NSRRC (Hsinchu, Taiwan), and the SOLEIL Synchrotron (GIF-sur-YVETTE, France). 

Dr. Tran has received numerous accolades, including a Bernard Lewis Fellowship from the Combustion Institute in 2016, and multiannual grants from CNRS for scientific excellence in 2018 and 2023. He has published valuable experimental data measured in different reactors and has proposed about 10 validated combustion mechanisms for oxygenated biofuels to the combustion community. Additionally, I have been appointed as a “Specially Appointed Researcher 2024−2025” at Ibaraki University and he currently serves on the Editorial Board for Progress in Reaction Kinetics and Mechanism.

Seminar of L.-S. TRAN at Ibaraki University Carbon Recycling Energy Research Center, Hitachi, Japan.

On October 27, 2023, the 4th CRERC International Seminar was held in a hybrid format on Hitachi campus and online. This time, Dr. Luc-Sy TRAN from the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), PC2A UMR 8522 (CNRS, Lille University ) spoke about the chemical and elementary processes of combustion, which are important for understanding and predicting the ignition and exhaust characteristics of new fuels.
