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 are sub-divided into the following:

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

CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGIES (Coal Combustion, Mercury Capture, CO2 Capture and Conversion)

SOLAR ENERGY (Next Generation Solar Cells, Water Splitting, Photocatalysis)

BIOMASS COMBUSTION (Flat Flame, Stove Projects, System Analysis)
