Plenary lecture at the European Combustion Meeting 2025, held in the stunning McEwan Hall at the University of Edinburgh — a celebration of cutting-edge combustion science under a historic dome. (Courtesy of Mustafa Kamal’s Linkedin Page) [Lu Tian, University of Loughborough]
The banquet, held in the National Museum of Scotland, was one of the highlights of the week. It was an opportunity to dine inside of a historic establishment with the company of fellow researchers. I enjoyed catching up with former colleagues and making new connections in the combustion community. [Akihiro Fujinawa, University of Cambridge]
I attended ECM2025 in Edinburgh, where I proudly presented my latest research poster. It was an inspiring and dynamic event, packed with insightful talks, engaging poster sessions, lively social events, and a spectacular Castle tour—an unforgettable experience with global combustion experts. [Weiyue Liu, Imperial]
Posing at the reception entrance of McEwan hall on the opening day of the ECM 2025. Several works focusing on use of machine learning to infer key combustion parameters with the goal of stabilizing flames and ultimately reducing noxious emissions was the highlight for me.

This is a snapshot of my poster, this was my first conference and so completely overwhelming but presenting my work and engaging with the everyone was my personal highlight. [Gilly Russell, University of Newcastle]
Fantastic weather, making new friends and reuniting with old ones, stimulating intellectual conversations, insightful talks that deepened my understanding and expanded my horizons and plenty of time to engage in a researcher's favorite activity: talking about one's own research - that was ECM25. [Christoph Schumann, University of Cambridge]

Presented my work on catalytic ammonia/hydrogen combustion over Pt catalyst, achieving ultra-lean combustion and NOₓ reduction. Engaging with researchers worldwide and attending sessions on sustainable combustion technologies made ECM 2025 an inspiring experience. [Ahmed Radwan, University of Glasgow]
Researchers from all parts of the world and all stages of their careers stand united, at the footsteps of a temple of learning. Contributing to solve the problems in their fields and moving towards a future where knowledge is shared freely and individual intelligence combines to enrich humanity. [Arnab Moitro, University of Newcastle]
The keynote speeches and other major sessions were held in a grand auditorium, which was both impressively spacious and rich with classical charm. This atmosphere not only helped enhance focus on the speeches but also made the experience feel like visiting a historic landmark. [Jinhyun Bae, Unversity of Cambridge]
Much like the castle, combustion will be around for many more years with low-carbon and carbon-free fuels, and innovative combustion devices. [Scott Wiseman, University of Leeds]

Presenting my work on detonation research at ECM 2025 in Edinburgh was a real highlight. It was a great opportunity to exchange ideas with researchers from across Europe and enjoy the inspiring setting of a beautiful city! [Zhaoxin Ren, University of Swansea]
ECM was held in Edinburgh, which is a historic British city. Edinburgh Castle is located at the heart of the city and looks over the whole city and the McEwan Hall, where each day started, could be seen from the top of the castle. The photo, taken before the first plenary lecture, shows the stunning roof of the McEwan Hall. [James Massey, University of Cambridge]
