Research Interests

My research interests focus on experimental combustion studies and state-of-the-art laser diagnostics. My research projects at KAUST include investigations of laminar flame speed of PRF fuels and gasoline surrogates, studies of pre-ignition events in SI engines, and developments of laser diagnostics (CARS, LII, and LIF etc.)
