Real-World Vehicle Emissions

 

My interests are broadly in energy and environmental systems, with specific interests in:  modeling and evaluation of advanced energy conversion (e.g.,combustion, gasification) and environmental control systems; measurement and modeling of real-world fuel use and emissions of onroad and nonroad vehicles; development and application of methods for quantification of variability and uncertainty and for sensitivity analysis in systems models; and exposure and risk analysis.  Air pollutant emissions of interest include criteria pollutants, hazardous air pollutants (“air toxics”), particulate matter, and greenhouse gases.  More details on my teaching, current and past research activities, publications, professional advisory activities, research group, and computer laboratory are available in the links above.
