Research Interests
Professor Chung's research interest is in fundamental combustion related to energy, environment and fuel issues. This includes studies on premixed and diffusion flame structure, combustion instability, flame stabilization, laser ignition, microgravity experiments, soot and NOx formation, and alternative fuels. This research is directed toward the applications to internal combustion engines, gas turbines, burners, rocket propulsion, and fire and explosion safety.
