Research Interests

Prof. Sarathy’s research is focused on reducing the environmental impact of combustion systems via the study of greenhouse gas emissions from conventional and alternative fuel sources (e.g., biofuels, gas-to-liquid, synthetic fuels, etc.). To accomplish this, he creates fundamental chemical kinetic models using computational simulations, primarily centered on the chemical combustion of various transportation fuels. Engine designers use these models to achieve their performance targets. Dr. Sarathy’s models are equally useful in determining how the chemical structure of a fuel affects pollutant formation. He also applies his expertise in chemical kinetics to study a wide array of chemical engineering systems including biomass energy, carbon fiber from residual oil, hydrogen production, and large scale electrolyzer systems.​
