My group applies high performance computational fluid dynamics models to turbulent, reacting flows that underpin the performance of combustion and solar energy systems and the dynamics of accidental fires. Our work at the nexus of big data and engineering applications is usually carried out with the aid of large-scale supercomputing resources with a view to making fundamental andÌýpractical impacts on problems of industrial relevance in transportation, power generation, and fire safety. Much of our work involves interaction with industry, with experimental researchers, and with international collaborators at universities and laboratories around the globe.

I am currently interested in hearing from potential PhD students for topics in the following areas:

- Renewable fuel combustion

- Particle-laden flows in solar energy applications

- Laboratory scale fires
