AE Seminar
Accelerating Decarbonization of Next-Generation Technologies for Transportation, Electric Power and Industrial Applications
by
Debolina Dasgupta
Research Scientist, Argonne National Laboratory
Thursday, October 19
3:30 - 4:30 p.m.
Weber SSTI III Classroom 1
(next to the Aero Maker Space)
About the Seminar:
Several combustion technologies will find continued use in hard-to-electrify sectors such as aviation, rail, marine, power generation, and process industry. With a push towards decarbonization, different fuels and technologies have grown to prominence to reduce the green-house gas emissions and energy consumption resulting in new operability and performance issues. This talk will provide an overview of the work being done at the Multi-Physics Computation Group at Argonne National Laboratory to address these challenges. Several research areas will be discussed including Sustainable Aviation Fuels in Gas Turbines, High-hydrogen blends in Combined Heat and Power Systems, Surrogate Model Development for System Control and Optimization, and Material Synthesis and Manufacturing. In these contexts, the talk will discuss Computational Fluid Dynamics Model Development, Multi-fidelity Machine Learning methods and close collaboration with experimental groups to deliver the required science.
About the Speaker:
Dr. Debolina Dasgupta is a research scientist in the Department for Advanced Propulsion and Power within Argonne’s Transportation and Power Systems (TAPS) division. Her research interest broadly lies in the areas of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), multi-phase reacting flow modeling, multi-fidelity machine learning (ML), digital twin and surrogate model development, system optimization, and high-performance computing (HPC) for a wide range of applications such as propulsion, power generation, and manufacturing. Dr. Dasgupta received her PhD from Georgia Institute of Technology in Aerospace Engineering in 2018 for developing models for turbulence-chemistry interactions in lean premixed flames for gas turbines through a combination of Direct Numerical Simulations, large-data analysis, and High-performance computing. She also holds a Masters in Technology in Aerospace Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras and Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering from Jadavpur University (India).
