In a nutshell, my doctoral efforts focused on the:

• Life cycle assessment of renewable alternative fuels like biodiesel, dimethyl ether, and ammonia using a state-centric approach.

• Experimental combustion performance and emissions assessment of these fuels using a high-compression ratio single-cylinder direct-injected compression-ignition engine.

• Development, verification, and validation of a first-of-its-kind dual-fuel internal combustion engine model from the governing equations of thermodynamics. The model was developed in MATLAB and is capable of simulation dimethyl ether-assisted combustion of ultra-low sulfur diesel and biodiesel.
