Solving problems that reduce human suffering
My goal is to solve problems that reduce human suffering through technology development, software development, and data analysis. As a Research Scientist in the Environmental Technologies Area, I lead and direct research for the Reacting Flow Applications Laboratory and the Biomass Stoves Laboratory. Currently, my research includes developing novel, low emissions burner technologies for residential appliances and distributed energy generation; advanced biomass cookstoves for the developing world; a low-cost, robust warmer for preventing neonatal hypothermia; an adaptive computational tool that predicts bioproduct and biofuel properties for screening and validation; and assessing opportunities for combined heat and power and district energy systems using conventional and alternative energy sources.
