Michel C.M. Cuijpers

Michel Cuijpers is a University Researcher in the Power & Flow group at Eindhoven University of Technology's Department of Mechanical Engineering. His research focuses on combustion optimization and alternative fuel characterization for sustainable transportation.

Research examines:

• Oxyfuel-diesel blend combustion in heavy-duty engines
• Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) calibration strategies
• Spray combustion dynamics of fast-pyrolysis bio-oils

Recent publications employ design of experiments (DoE) to optimize oxymethylene ether blends, demonstrating emissions reduction potential. Experimental work utilizes constant-volume combustion chambers and engine test benches to characterize ignition behavior and particle emissions.
