Research Interests

​My research interests cover a range of topics from combustion of alternative fuels, advanced modes of engine operation, optimisation of bio-fuels for transport, to gas-phase kinetics and fluid dynamics. I am particularly interested in understanding which fuel properties offer the greatest potential engine efficiency improvements. This can help in selection of an optimal alternative fuel candidate for its effective use within conventional and advanced engine technologies.
