Research Interests

Research involves use of computational chemistry (Density Functional Theory and ab initio calculation levels) to develop thermochemical and kinetic properties of species important to combustion or atmospheric systems. Research also develops reactions paths and kinetic parameters for complex reaction systems at a detailed level and apply the reactions in combustion models to understand and optimize a reaction process. Recent studies and publications involve studies of dissociation and oxidation reaction of cyclic ethers in combustion system.
