M. Razi Nalim studies combustion and propulsion engineering, with a particular focus on wave rotor technology, which uses pressure waves inside rotating channels to boost engine and turbine performance. Much of the work involves computer simulation of how fuel-air mixtures ignite and burn, including hot-jet ignition in confined combustors. Related projects address hydrogen and alternative fuels, transportation efficiency, and engineering education.
