Alison M. Ferris is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University. Her research group conducts experimental work at the intersection of chemical kinetics and optical diagnostics in the field of fuel science. She employs shock waves and optical diagnostics to study high-temperature, gas-phase reaction chemistry and develop laser-based diagnostic tools aimed at guiding the development of next-generation, sustainable fuels. Her current research interests include measuring key reaction rates related to low-carbon fuels, investigating the link between aviation-produced particulates and subsequent contrail formation, and accelerating the development of sustainable aviation fuels through data-driven predictive modeling.
