Research Interests

Research interests and expertise centers on experimental internal combustion engine research to understand the influence of turbulence and engine configurations on ignition, autoignition, flow/flame interaction, emissions and cyclic variability measurements. Such studies include optical access engines where advanced laser diagnostic techniques and imaging are applied. Other research areas included studying the effect of using biofuels and their blends on diesel engines performance and emissions; combustion instability, flame structure, flame stabilization and flame structure under turbulent conditions for both premixed and diffusion flame
