Summary
My research focuses on green and carbon-neutral energy production using solid fuels such as coal, biomass and organic wastes. It addresses gaseous pollutant mitigation, particularly NOx reduction, in low-carbon (biomass) and carbon-negative (oxy-biomass) combustion systems. Emphasizing combustion and incineration processes, the work integrates advanced CFD + CHEMKIN modeling with experimental studies to develop cleaner, more efficient, and carbon-neutral energy technologies.
