Research
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.
