Research Interests

My research broadly focusses on quantitative elemental detection using microwave assisted laser induced breakdown spectroscopy at atmospheric environment. My research interest in CCRC is mainly focused on the laser diagnostics, especially quantitative 2D Raman for combustion species at atmospheric and elevated pressure. An experimental approach to investigate the flame structures, mechanism, and relative importance of premixed and non-premixed combustion, effect of pressure on flame structure and NOx formation.
