Fungi-generated ketone biofuels  Several strains of endophytic
fungi have been shown to directly convert lignocellulosic
biomass to a wide range of potential biofuels. Understanding the
combustion chemistry of these compounds is key to providing fuel
target recommendations for synthetic biologists to optimize and
scale-up these fungi metabolic pathways.  Should the United
States adopt a universal octane rating?  Adopting an ideal
octane rating can save refineries and consumers money over the
next 30 years, but what is the optimal production path to
follow?  Generating kinetic mechanisms automatically  Combustion

Mechanism Generator (RMG).  Kinetics Modeling  We build kinetic
models important for many technologically important systems,
including combustion, pyrolysis, and atmospheric oxidation of
organic compounds.  Chemical Dynamics Lab  Measuring chemical
