At the 2013 Eastern States Section of the Combustion Institute Fall Technical Meeting Dr. West gave one of the invited plenary lectures, titled “Building detailed kinetic models of combustion chemistry.” (Presentation date: October 15, 2013.) Abstract: Over the last few decades, detailed kinetic models have become integral to combustion research. Comprehensive descriptions of intermediate species […]

At the 8th International Conference on Chemical Kinetics, Dr. West presented the group’s work on Finding Transition States Algorithmically for Automatic Reaction Mechanism Generation. (Presentation date: July 12, 2013.) We presented an automatic procedure to generate the transition state geometries that are required for automatic calculations of reaction rates via TST, in the context of […]
