My doctoral research focuses on the experimental and numerical investigation of the relationship between OH* radical chemiluminescence and heat-release rate in premixed H₂–air flames, with the goal of validating OH* as a reliable flame-front marker.
By correlating experimental diagnostic data with high-fidelity modelling, the study identifies the chemical pathways of OH* formation under varying conditions — contributing to the development of advanced non-intrusive sensing techniques for hydrogen combustion.
Methods & tools: optical flame diagnostics, chemiluminescence imaging, spectroscopy, detailed chemical kinetics, 0D/1D simulations, Python, MATLAB.
