Soot-radiation interaction
Despite its many advantages and potential to be the dominant source of sustainable energy in the long term, the use of concentrated solar radiation (CSR) in thermal power generation remains costlier than many alternative energy sources.

Mechanism of action of an anti-inflammatory compound which targets alternatively activated macrophages
Our laboratory has identified alternatively activated macrophages as cells that have a key role in acute allergic inflammation. This project focuses on the mechanism by which a novel anti-inflammatory compound suppresses the activity of these cells.
