For the first time, the Assistant Professorship of Sustainable Future Mobility was represented at the ASME Turbo Expo. At this year's edition in Memphis, two papers were presented with great success:

1. Thuy An Do presented her research on entropy wave generation in the dilution zone of an academic RQL combustion chamber. The focus was on the measurement methodology “Background-Oriented-Schlieren” (BOS) and a new boundary condition in the evaluation of the BOS images. Applying the new boundary condition, it is now also possible to derive a 2D temperature field for stationary combustion chambers with BOS.
2. Ángel Brito Gadeschi presented the development of his micromix burner. The micromix burner was developed explicitly for the fuel-rich range with the aim of being able to run high load points similar to conventional combustion with kerosene. In addition, the micromix burner is now a starting point to measure entropy waves that are less exposed to dispersion, which will provide more fundamental understanding of entropy wave generation.

We are proud of our first contributions to the research of combustion instability and grateful for the valuable technical exchange at the conference. We are already looking forward to the next ASME Turbo Expo 2026!
