Personal Statement

I have been working on many automotive and environment related projects especially in the areas of engine combustion of petro and bio fuels, engine emissions, mitigations and health effects. Of peculiar interest is on the use of biodiesel blends with petro-diesel in mitigating exhaust gas emissions.  This has led to projects in biodiesel production and characterization, combustion characteristics with respect to its exhaust emissions and other aspects of clean combustion technologies.  Recent and on-going projects are on biogas production and utilization in domestic heating and automotive engines, automotive waste products, on how to convert waste to wealth and atmospheric environment.
