Research Projects

• 

  RMG-Cat is an open-source software package that can automatically generate microkinetic mechanisms for catalytic surfaces.

• 

  Method development for transition states in real-gas environments, machine learning for barrierless reactions, non-Boltzmann effects, and collisional energy transfer.

• 

  Develop predictive models for the decomposition kinetics of energetic materials.

• 

  The Brown Shock Tube is a state-of-the-art instrument for measuring gas-phase kinetics under extreme conditions.

• 

  Understanding the fate of fuel-bound nitrogen in low-temperature auto-ignition.

• 

  Accurate thermodynamic properties for adsorbates begins with accurate representation of the adsorbate motion relative to the surface.

• 

  Combining computational kinetics and a novel high-pressure liquid strand burner to quantify chemical species in the post-flame region of monopropellants.
