Research summary
AI-generated

Sayan Biswas's work centers on combustion engineering, particularly how plasma-based ignition systems (such as nanosecond pulsed discharges) and pre-chamber designs affect flame formation and engine performance, using both computational modeling and optical experimental setups. Recent publications also show involvement in more varied topics, including hydrofoil cavitation, vibration analysis of nanomaterials, brake performance, and spectroscopy of chemical mixtures, suggesting a broad range of engineering collaborations. This body of work would suit students interested in combustion physics, engine ignition technology, or applied mechanical/materials engineering.
