Research Interests
Interests are in aerosol science and engineering; nanoparticle technology;
energy, air quality engineering; envrionmentally begign energy production;
combustion; materials processing for environmental technologies, environmentally
benign processing, environmental nanotechnology, and thermal sciences. Specific
focus on particle formation and growth dynamics in high temperature
environments, with application in controlling particulate emissions from
combustion sources and processing of materials by aerosol routes for
environmental and energy technologies.
