Research
My research interest lies in the field of experimental combustion and laser diagnostics of turbulent combustion, with a particular focus on turbulent stratified flames and combustion instabilities in gas turbine engines. My primary research goals are directed towards understanding the physics of turbulent reacting flows in energy conversion devices, with the aim of maximising efficiency and stability, and minimising harmful pollutant emissions.
