معرفی
Nasser Darabiha is a Professor of Exceptional Class at CentraleSupélec's EM2C Laboratory. His career includes significant leadership roles such as Director of the Franco-Brazilian LIA (CNRS) Energy and Environment since 2016, President of the Technical Committee of GENCI, and membership in the Scientific Council of FRAE (Foundation for Research in Aeronautics and Space). Previously, he served as Director of the EM2C Laboratory (2002–2009), Dean of the Ph.D. School at École Centrale Paris (2011–2012), and Head of the Department of Energy (2005–2008).
Education:
- Habilitation, Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse (1994)
- Ph.D. in Combustion, École Centrale Paris (1984)
- M.S. in Energy, École Centrale Paris (1981)
- Specialization Diploma in Energy, École Centrale Paris (1980)
- B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Sharif University of Technology, Iran (1975)
Research Focus: Darabiha's expertise spans theoretical/numerical modeling of combustion phenomena (laminar/turbulent flames, soot reduction, chemical kinetics tabulation) and experimental methods (laser diagnostics, signal processing). His work advances fundamental understanding of reactive flows in aerospace propulsion, energy systems, and pollutant mitigation.
Publication Trends: His recent articles predominantly explore advanced combustion modeling techniques (LES/DNS), soot/PAH dynamics, plasma-assisted ignition, and alternative fuel chemistry. Computational fluid dynamics, particularly lattice Boltzmann methods and chemical mechanism optimization, feature prominently alongside experimental validations of high-pressure combustion systems.
Awards & Honors:
- Officer in the Order of Academic Palms (2012)
- Knight in the Order of Academic Palms (2005)
Leadership & Advising: He directs the Franco-Brazilian LIA consortium and has supervised numerous Master/PhD students. His grants include leadership of large-scale computational projects through GENCI. He established the EM2C Laboratory as a leading combustion research facility during his directorship.
Laboratories & Teams: Leads research groups at EM2C Laboratory focusing on turbulent combustion modeling, plasma ignition, and soot formation. Collaborates internationally through the Franco-Brazilian LIA on sustainable energy solutions.
