CPC stands for Clean energy, Process intelligence, and Circularity: a research identity connecting chemical kinetics, combustion science, energy systems engineering, artificial intelligence, and life-cycle thinking.
The transition to a carbon-neutral energy system is one of the defining scientific and engineering challenges of the 21st century. Electrification will play a central role, but aviation, maritime transport, heavy-duty mobility, and high-temperature industry require sustainable fuels and advanced energy conversion technologies.
Our research integrates chemical kinetics, combustion science, digitalization, and systems engineering to enable the design and deployment of low-carbon energy solutions. We connect molecular-level reaction pathways, high-fidelity experiments, computational models, and system-scale assessment.
Our work emphasizes hydrogen, ammonia, sustainable aviation fuels, circular carbon systems, and advanced thermal and energy technologies. We evaluate candidate solutions using detailed kinetic modeling, experiments, TEA, LCA, supply-chain modeling, and AI-enabled optimization.
