To Prospective Graduate Student Applicants:
It is a pleasure to offer you an opportunity to become familiar with our efforts here at Princeton. I have compiled a brief summary of material which I hope will give you an overview of my particular research interests and those of the professionals and graduate students who currently work with me. As should be evident, my group has a special interest in how chemistry and its interactions with convective and diffusive transport affect phenomena of practical interest. Particularly in the past ten years, we have assembled a rather unique set of experimental and numerical techniques to study these interactions. We are also constantly adding new areas of research and techniques, and many of these are not represented in our cited publications. For example, we are presently pursuing new work in supersonic reacting flows, microgravity drople combustion, and solid particle burning of metals. Additionally, we continue to study various aspects of combustion related to the performance of energy conversion systems and their emissions characteristics.
We typically have a number of degree completions each year, and we attempt to add one to two new graduate students each year as well. If the kind of experimental/numerical research we are pursuing is exciting to you, and you would like to discuss opportunities further, please feel free to call me for more information. Alternatively, we would be pleased to have you visit us here at Princeton.
