معرفی
Alison Ferris is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University, affiliated with the High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI). Her research focuses on chemical kinetics, shock wave dynamics, and sustainable fuel development, with applications to combustion-driven aerosol mitigation and clean energy technologies. She leads the Ferris Group, conducting experiments in shock tubes to study reaction pathways and fuel properties. Key areas include high-temperature flame dynamics, sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), and optical diagnostics for real-time species measurement.
Her work integrates machine learning with spectroscopic techniques to predict fuel properties and optimize next-generation fuels. Collaborative projects involve analyzing ammonia and hydrogen blends for green aviation and developing diagnostics like dual-track Raman spectrometers.
Recent publications emphasize high-temperature combustion studies, including ethanol/ammonia flame behavior and methane pyrolysis for clean hydrogen production. Awards and grants are not explicitly mentioned, but her research aligns with environmental sustainability goals. The Ferris Group collaborates across disciplines, contributing to both fundamental combustion science and applied energy solutions.
