Prof. Smooke is
the Director of Undergraduate Studies for Mechanical Engineering. He is a member of the Research Center for Scientific Computation and of the Center for Combustion Studies at Yale.

My primary research interests lie in the areas of computational combustion, chemical vapor deposition, and the numerical solution of ordinary and partial differential equations.

Current research projects involve computational studies of NOx and soot formation in flames, the modeling of multidimensional premixed and nonpremixed flames on parallel supercomputers, flamelet models for turbulent reacting flows, and microgravity combustion.
