I am working in the area of gas phase kinetics (combustion and pyrolysis). I am involved in experiments (jet-stirred reactor, flame) and in the development of detailed kinetic models. Fuels under investigation are hydrocarbons and oxygenated species (biodiesels, alcohols, species from the pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass). Various analytical techniques are coupled to reactors and burners for the quantification of a wide range of species (SVUV-PIMS, gas cromatography, cw-CRDS, FAGE...).
