Over the past decade, scientific and engineering interest in high temperature and supercritical water has been growing quickly as new technologies are developed to harness the unique properties of water at extreme temperatures and pressures. Supercritical water holds great promise in hazardous waste recycling, solar hydrogen production, carbon sequestration and power generation. My major research objective is to provide a fundamental, molecular level understanding of aqueous systems and reactions under high temperature and pressure conditions, and to develop experimental and modeling tools for their study. My primary research focus is on hydrogen-water chemistry in energy generation systems. Another area of my research interests is supercritical water oxidation technology for waste utilization, the process that leaves no harmful by-products in the environment. In my work I make use of a unique flow reactor for high temperature and pressure experiments and a parallel cluster for numerical simulations. My program is ultimately intended to deliver the results of fundamental research to the industry. It should lead to better understanding of high temperature and supercritical aqueous systems, and thus advance their efficient and safe application in many traditional and novel technologies, such as the proposed Canadian GEN-IV Supercritical Water-Cooled Reactor.

在过去的十年中，随着新技术的开发，利用水在极端温度和压力下的独特性质，对高温和超临界水的科学和工程兴趣迅速增长。超临界水在危险废物回收、太阳能制氢、碳封存和发电方面具有巨大的前景。我的主要研究目标是提供一个基本的，分子水平的水系统和高温高压条件下的反应的理解，并为他们的研究开发实验和建模工具。 我的主要研究重点是能源发电系统中的氢-水化学。我的另一个研究领域是废物利用的超临界水氧化技术，该过程不会在环境中留下有害的副产品。在我的工作中，我利用一个独特的流动反应器的高温和高压实验和一个并行集群的数值模拟。我的项目最终旨在向行业提供基础研究的成果。它应该导致更好地了解高温和超临界水系统，从而促进其在许多传统和新技术，如拟议的加拿大GEN-IV超临界水冷反应堆的有效和安全的应用。
