Sunderland Wins CAREER Award

Peter Sunderland
"Despite their importance, soot processes in flames and fires still are not well understood," Sunderland said. "I hope this research will yield important new insights into processes of soot destruction in flames. This could improve models of soot processes in engines and fires, ultimately leading to a cleaner and safer environment."
Both undergrad and graduate students will assist Sunderland with the research. Sunderland will team with the Women in Engineering Program and the Center for Minorities in Science and Engineering to foster interest in science and engineering among female and minority secondary school students.
