The Guildenbecher Research Group characterizes dynamics in harsh multiphase environments. We perform diagnostics for energetic materials (explosives, propellants, pyrotechnics) including ultra-fast laser diagnostics, laser-induced incandescence, object tracking and triangulation, digital inline holography, and more. We also characterize sprays and liquid atomization.

We are based at the Maurice J. Zucrow Laboratories at Purdue University, the largest academic propulsion lab in the world.
