David Robert Emberson

David Robert Emberson is a Professor in the Department of Marine Engineering at NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology). His research focuses on combustion engineering, alternative fuels, and emissions control in internal combustion engines. He has co-authored numerous studies on topics like HCCI engine performance, biofuel additives, soot emission analysis, and fuel emulsification techniques.

Key technical contributions include experimental work on hydrotreated vegetable oils, glycerol emulsions, and stochastic reactor models for bio-producer gas combustion. His work spans both fundamental combustion chemistry and applied engine optimization, with collaborations on projects like Arctic Biodiesel performance (presented at COMODIA 2017).

Teaching responsibilities include advanced marine engineering courses (e.g., TMR4535, TMR4280) covering propulsion systems, fuel technology, and environmental impacts. His research integrates optical diagnostics, numerical simulations, and experimental validation to address challenges in sustainable engine design.
