Ryma and Pierre-Alexandre attended IASH 2024 in Louisville, Kentucky, from 8 to 12 September 2024 (https://iashulf.memberclicks.net/iash-2024-conference) to present results from the BioSCOPE project. Ryma presented part of her thesis work, in particular the new microfluidic reactor (PEEK-ACHU) for studying the ageing of liquid fuels, as well as results on the ageing kinetics of a model … Read more
Several members of the BioSCOPE team attended the International Symposium on Combustion, held in Milano from July 21 to 26, 2024. Fabiola gave an oral presentation on her work on the prediction of pressure effects for alkane initiations, resulting from collaboration with Stephen Klippenstein’s team at Argonne National Laboratory. Ryma presented her simulation results on … Read more
Fabiola and Gabriel presented their thesis work at the 27th International Symposium on Gas Kinetics and Related Phenomena, held in Leeds from July 14 to 18, 2024. Fabiola presented a poster on the extension of the tabulated transition state method, developed in her thesis work, to beta-scission reactions of alkyl radicals. Gabriel presented his results … Read more
Ryma presented her thesis work at the Journées du GDR Synth Flux 2024 which took place on 4 and 5 June 2024 at the Grandville site of the LRGP in Nancy (https://gdrsynth-flux.cnrs.fr/) and was organised by colleagues from the LRGP. A presentation of the microfluidic continuous flow experimental pilot for studying the oxidation kinetics of … Read more
During a trip to the USA, Ryma had the opportunity to visit the laboratories run by Steven Zabarnik working on the oxidation stability of fuels and associated analytical techniques as part of work with the FAA. The visit, organised by Matthew DeWitt and Zachary West, provided an opportunity for interesting discussions on the various experimental … Read more
Ryma presented her thesis work at the Journée Scientifique 2023 – SCF Lorraine, which took place on 15 May 2023 at the Faculté de Sciences in Vandoeuvre-les-Nancy (https://scflorrainejourneescientifique2023.wordpress.com/). Her results on the quantification of hydroperoxides in liquid fuels using titration and absorption methods and their coupling to an HPLC chain were the subject of an … Read more
Several PhD students from the BioSCOPE project took part in the JDD organized in Lyon by the Groupement Français de Combustion. Fabiola presented a poster on automating the calculation of theoretical kinetic data for the tabulated transition state method. Ryma presented her simulation work on the influence of aging on the combustion properties of a … Read more
Between August and October 2023, Fabiola visited the Argonne National Laboratory to study alkane initiation reactions in Stephen Klippenstein’s group (LUE DrEAM grant). Her stay enabled her to acquire skills in kinetic constant calculations for barrierless reactions, using the VRC-VTST method, which will be used in the BioSCOPE project.
Francisco presented his work on the prediction of solvation quantities for molecules and free radicals in liquid and supercritical solvents with an oral presentation at the Journées d’Études des Équilibres entre Phases, held in Rouen in October 2023.
Francisco presented a poster at the PPEPPD conference (International Conference on Properties and Phase Equilibria for Product and Process Design) in Tarragona, Spain (May 2023). On this occasion, he presented a predictive equation of state for calculating the solvation properties of molecules and free radicals, as well as for phase equilibrium calculations. This work is … Read more
