Ravi Patel

Ravi Patel is a researcher affiliated with the Elementary Processes in Gas Discharges Group under the Department of Applied Physics and Science Education and the Power & Flow Group in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). He focuses on non-equilibrium plasma applications for combustion enhancement, particularly in low-temperature conditions.

• Education: B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering (2015, L.D. College of Engineering, India); M.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering (2018, Indian Institute of Science, India).
• Research: Investigates plasma-assisted combustion dynamics using optical diagnostics, with emphasis on stabilizing clean combustion and optimizing dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) parameters.

Article Trends: His work spans plasma energy coupling, ignition kernel growth, NO_x emissions, and flame stabilization in coaxial flow reactors, with a strong focus on methane-air mixtures and high-speed propulsion applications.

• Grants: Funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) for project 'Making plasma assisted combustion efficient' (No. 16480).

Laboratory Affiliations: Works within the Extreme non-equilibrium plasmas and Group Van Oijen, contributing to experimental setups for plasma-combustion interaction.
