Published:
Validating OH* radical chemiluminescence as a non-intrusive flame-front marker by correlating optical diagnostics with detailed chemical-kinetics modelling of hydrogen–air flames.
Research
My research focuses on hydrogen combustion and optical flame diagnostics—developing non-intrusive techniques to probe flame chemistry and heat release for clean, safe combustion.
Research Areas
Flame Chemiluminescence (OH*)
Validating OH* radical chemiluminescence as a flame-front marker by correlating the optical signal with the heat-release rate in premixed hydrogen–air flames.
Detailed Chemical Kinetics
Identifying the chemical pathways governing OH* formation in H₂–air flames through high-fidelity modelling and correlation with experimental diagnostics.
Optical & Spectral Diagnostics
Characterising the spatial and spectral signatures of hydrogen flames using high-speed imaging and spectroscopy to enable non-intrusive sensing.
Low-Emission Combustion
Applying combustion science to the development of low-NOx and ultra-low-NOx burners and to emissions and combustion-efficiency characterisation.
