Professor, Chemical Engineering

combustion chemistry quantum chemistry computational simulations

Professor Sarathy's research interest is in developing sustainable energy technologies with decreased net environmental impact. A major thrust of research is improving the operation of power generation technologies. The goal of Professor Sarathy's research is study conventional and alternative fuels (e.g., biofuels, synthetic fuels, etc.), so the environmental impact of combustion systems can be reduced. He applies AI and ML techniques to study complex energy related problems such as fuel design, renewable hydrogen production, and process control and optimization in energy intensive operations.
