This summer he has been working with Dr. Sander Levine and Professor Bruce Kusse investigating why PLIF is not consistent day to day and coming up with a solution to improve the reproducibility and accuracy of PLIF. This has led him to develop a new calibration method for calibrating gas puff data from PLIF.
PLIF data is used to understand the data that comes out of COBRA, so for COBRA to be accurate the PLIF data must be accurate.
