About this position
This research opportunity at DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory focuses on Variable Energy Assisted Compression Ignition (VEACI) for a multi-fuel capable hybrid electric propulsion project. The work is aimed at improving propulsion efficiency and enabling multi-fuel capability for small engines used in unmanned vehicle propulsion.
The selected researcher will study variable energy assist technologies for adaptive propulsion across a wider range of fuels, with attention to the limitations of energy-addition technologies and ways to develop and control their capabilities. A central part of the project is integrating ignition and combustion sensing with control architecture, supported by analytical work on engine combustion processes and control logic.
The project is carried out closely with ARL engineers in the Mechanical Sciences area, within the Army Research Laboratory’s research environment focused on technologies relevant to future Army air and ground systems. The advertised work sits within ARL’s broader effort on combustion processes, propulsion, and vehicle concepts.
ARL Advisor: Kenneth Kim.
