Nimal Naser

Nimal Naser is a postdoctoral researcher in the Engine Research Center (ERC) at University of Wisconsin–Madison. At ERC his research activities are centered around advanced internal combustion engines, with computational focus on combustion and fuels. Future engines demand fuel flexibility, which necessitates active research in the field of conventional and non-conventional fuels alike, to tune them for high efficiencies and ultra-low emissions. Studies on mixture formation, flame initiation and propagation, auto-ignition behavior, emissions formation, will play a key role in overcoming some of the technical challenges associated with advanced combustion engines. Consequently, greater insight in fuel-engine interactions will be demanded, which is his primary research focus. Nimal Naser graduated with a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Clean Combustion Research Center, Department of Mechanical Engineering, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). Prior to his studies at KAUST, he worked at the Energy Research Institute (ERI), King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) as a Combustion Research Assistant. He earned his Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras and his Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from College of Engineering, Trivandrum, India.
