Nano Research Facility School of Engineering & Applied Science

AAQRL Research Projects

 

Current research projects in the group are focused on a detailed understanding of particle formation and growth dynamics in high temperature environments.  The understanding is used for a more effective control of particle formation and emissions from combustion systems.  The same understanding is also used for the design of synthesis processes to produce a range of nanomaterials.

 

 

The categories of our current research projects can be sub-divided into the following:

 

CLEAN ENERGY ( Solar Energy & Carbon Capture from Fossil Fuel Combustion)

 

NANOMATERIALS SYNTHESIS (Aerosol synthesis of a variety of nanomaterials for applications in Nanotoxicology Studies, Nanomedicine and Energy & Environmental Nanotechnologies)

 

ELECTROHYDRO ATOMIZATION AND ELECTROSTATIC CAPTURE SYSTEMS

(Use of electrospray aerosol generators for characterization of proteins, biological particles and macromolecules; charging characteristics of nanoparticles; transport and capture characteristics of bioaerosols)
