Biography

​My research focuses on the understanding of fuel/engine interactions during the overall combustion process in order to achieve high-efficiency engines with low fuel consumption and low pollutant emissions. Investigations are performed mainly through experimental approaches which used a variable compression ratio Cooperative Fuel Research (CFR) engine modified to operate under both Spark Ignition (SI) and Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI).​

Research Interests

● Advanced internal combustion engine
● Alternative and surrogate fuels
● Innovative technologies and strategies for application to internal combustion engines
● Physical measurements (sensors, data post-processing and uncertainties)​
