About
Research Interests
Combustion
Fluid mechanics
Heat transfer
Low temperature plasma wave enhanced combustion in porous media and excess enthalpy combustion processes (these topics permit the generation of superadiabatic temperatures which can be applied to emission control, gas synthesis, and highly efficient combustion processes)
Non-equilibrium plasma processes for emission control and hydrogen generation
Fuel reforming unsteady combustion processes
Combustion synthesis of materials
Hydrogen metal hydrides processes
