Let’s make Combustion Cleaner!

Started working The University of Alabama as an associate professor for fuels and combustion in Jan 2020. I have been working on combustion, emissions and performance of alternative fuel to be used in gas turbine engines and other combustion sources. I am also serving as an Honorary Visiting Assistant Professor at Aerospace Engineering Department of Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay)

Prior to this position, I held a position of assistant professor/lecturer at the University of Sheffield in the Low Carbon Combustion Centre (LCCC). I was leading combustion and emissions research areas at LCCC.

I have been working closely with a large range of industries, government organizations and universities, including U.S. DOE, FAA, Siemens, Rolls-Royce, UK MOD and Dstl.

Research

Current research focus is in the following areas. Applicable to power generation systems using combustion.

  • Sustainable Aviation Fuel Performance
  • Emissions
  • Hydrogen Combustion
  • Fuel Systems Compatability
  • Low Emission Combustors
  • Low Emissions Combustion Methods
