Gray R. S. Professor of ME at Purdue University. I shoot photons at molecules to advance the thermosciences, energy, propulsion, and defense applications.
.@PurdueME professors Robert Lucht and Christopher Goldenstein (@GoldensteinLab), and @PurdueAeroAstro professor emeritus Steve Heister were recently honored by the @aiaa.

@Combustion_Intl Such an honor to receive this award! Many thanks to the Combustion Institute and Elsevier as well as my PhD students and colleagues that enabled this!
Big congratulations to my PhD student Austin McDonald for successfully defending his PhD thesis! Austin’s research focused on developing several novel emission and absorption spectroscopy diagnostics and applying them to study propellant flames.
Our Applied Optics paper on simultaneous measurements of temperature, CO, CO2, and NO at 5 kHz in vehicle exhaust has been highlighted by @OpticaWorldwide 's Spotlight on Optics! Congrats to Josh! Great collaboration with Ford Motor Company!
Congratulations to Vishnu for successfully defending his PhD today! Vishnu’s research centered around the development and application of femtosecond laser absorption diagnostics for non-equilibrium gases produced by flames and shock waves. Tons for us to be proud of! @PurdueME
🚀This is Dragonfly, a first-of-its-kind rotorcraft that @NASA is sending to Saturn's largest moon, Titan. To survive entering Titan's dense methane atmosphere, @PurdueEngineers are simulating Titan-esque conditions in a shock tube here on Earth: https://t.co/mZwkRsMRq8
We got to celebrate a bit early with Dr. Ziqiao Chang today! Our "Lord of Lasers." Congrats again Ziqiao! We'll all miss having you here, best of luck at Princeton!
Our paper describing broadband measurements of NO2 absorption cross-sections from 430 to 500 nm at high temperatures is now published online in JQSRT. Congrats to Ryan for leading the charge!

Check out our recent papers in Applied Optics and SAE Int. Journal of Engines that describe how we're using laser diagnostics to provide fast (5 kHz to 15 kHz) temperature and engine-out emissions measurements for Ford vehicles.
