Frederick Dryer
Dr. Dryer's current research interests include: chemistry/chemical kinetics of fuels
and hazardous waste materials as related to ignition, combustion, and emissions generation/abatement;
petroleum-derived fuels, including gasoline, diesel, gas turbine, and heavy fuel oil
combustion properties; non-petroleum-derived alternative fuels, their production,
their chemical kinetic properties, and their ability to address U.S. energy security
and reduction in net carbon cycle emissions as well as other pollutant concerns; fire
safety related issues on earth and in micro gravity environments; solid phase/gas
phase interactions as related to particle burning phenomena and nano-catalyst materials;
emissions from internal combustion engines, including hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides,
aerosol
