Dr. Farooq’s research interests span energy sciences, propulsion, chemical kinetics, shockwaves, spectroscopy and laser-based sensors. He is the principal investigator of theFarooq Group for Advanced Sensing Technology and Energy Research (FASTER). Farooqis actively involved in the development of laser-based sensors for applications in energysystems, environmental monitoring and biomedical diagnostics. His lab specializes indeveloping and applying cutting-edge experimental techniques to investigate fundamentalprocesses in both traditional and renewable energy-conversion systems. This includesadvanced research on the chemistry of e-fuels, biofuels, low-carbon-fuels and zero-carbon-fuels using shock tubes, rapid compression machines, catalytic reactors and a range ofdiagnostic methods. ​
