KATHARINA KOHSE-HÖINGHAUS was born in Germany's industrial Ruhr area in 1951. Science fascinated her early on-this never changed and propelled her life into a stellar academic career. After studying chemistry, she cut her own path from atmospheric chemistry to combustion science.

Constantly she created new trails between physics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering to explore combustion, pollutant emissions, and new analytical techniques.

Challenges like a dual-career family and raising funds for cross-border science led...

The editors have assembled a world-class group of contributors who address the questions the combustion diagnostic community faces. They are chemists who identify the species to be measured and the interfering substances that may be present; physicists, who push the limits of laser spectroscopy and laser devices and who conceive suitable measurement schemes; and engineers, who know combustion systems and processes. This book assists in providing guidance for the planning of combustion experiments, in judging research strategies and in conceiving new ideas for combustion research. It provides...

This book provides a link between modern laser-based diagnostics techniques and applied combustion problems. Fundamental understanding of combustion is needed to increase energy efficiency and reduce the pollution from combustion effluent. Laser-based diagnostics provide important tools to probe the harsh, high-temperature, and often high pressure environment of modern combustion systems. A pedagogical overview of the application of laser-based diagnostics to combustion problems is presented in this book. The text provides the active combustion research scientist with an understanding of what...
