Active Research Areas
Carbon-Neutral Fuels
This work explores carbon-free and renewable fuels as alternatives to conventional hydrocarbons. Experimental studies focusing on direct metal combustion and sustainable aviation fuels are ongoing. Hydrogen and ammonia combustion for clean energy is also being exlpored.
Emission Mitigation
Research in this area targets reduction of gaseous and particulate emissions from combustion systems. The influence of fuel additives and combustion conditions on pollutant formation is evlauted to gain mechanistic insight. Collaborative research focuses on real-world emissions and air-quality monitoring.
Aerospace Propellants and Energetic Materials
