Research Interest
- High temperature chemical kinetics using shock tubes
- Determination of the combustion fundamental properties such as flammability limits, laminar flame velocities, auto-ignition delay times, detonation characteristics (cell size, detonation speed, etc.); and
- Development of detailed chemical kinetics applicable to these phenomena
- Assessment of safety explosion criteria with the detailed study of flame acceleration covering both subsonic and supersonic flames
