My research focuses on development of chemical kinetic models to describe oxidation of fuels. I am interested in predicting global combustion characteristics of conventional and alternative fuels and interpreting these observations based on insights gained from molecular level kinetic descriptions. If you are interested in being a part of our team, peruse the list of available projects to identify your interests and write to me with a subject line that includes the title of the topic. Please note that I am *not* interested in hiring interns. |

Our research focuses on development of chemical kinetic models to describe oxidation of fuels. I am interested in predicting global combustion characteristics of conventional and alternative fuels and interpreting these observations based on insights gained from molecular level kinetic descriptions.
In the recent times, my team has been studying kinetics of oxygenated fuels, which being renewable and resulting in reduced emissions, are immediately relevant to the country's energy needs. In addition, we are also recently explored ideas to generate compact reaction mechanisms and optimize kinetic schemes. A brief tour of our research activities is provided below. The funding agencies that support our research are gratefully acknowledged. |
