Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works on combustion engineering, focusing on how flames and pressure waves behave in rocket engines and other propulsion systems. Much of the work involves studying combustion instability (unwanted pressure oscillations in combustors), detonation-based engines, and using computer simulations and optical measurement techniques (like light emission from flames) to understand and predict these processes. The research is aimed at improving the design and reliability of rocket and jet propulsion combustors.
