My research interests include high quality experimental data which is essential to validate and improve existing chemical kinetics models and in general combustion models.
Shock Tube is ideal for studying combustion kinetics as it provides near constant volume and internal energy conditions and decouples the complex combustion phenomenon from other affects so that the combustion process can be studied with least uncertainties.
Laser diagnostics provides the essential non-intrusive experimental techniques to study the combustion process quantitatively.
I am also interested in catalytic combustion of various hydrocarbons as well as improving their surface chemical kinetics, where the current mechanisms present high deficiencies.
