First SSCI Annual Combustion Meeting
The Singapore Section of the Combustion Institute (SSCI) is delighted to announce the 1st SSCI Annual Combustion Meeting, to be held on 9 December 2025 at LT6, National University of Singapore.
This inaugural meeting aims to bring together professionals, researchers, and students from academia, industry, and government across Singapore. It will serve as a platform to share the latest research, foster collaboration, and discuss the future of combustion science and its role in addressing local and global energy and environmental challenges. The theme of the meeting is "Power a Net-Zero and Sustainable Future". The program will feature technical sessions for oral presentations and a poster session to highlight major research achievements and emerging trends within our community.
Topics of Interest
We invite the submission of abstracts for consideration for oral or poster presentations in all areas of combustion science, including but not limited to:
- Reaction Kinetics and Chemical Pathways
- Laminar and Turbulent Flames
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for Combustion
- Advanced Combustion Diagnostics
- Sustainable and Future Fuels (e.g., Hydrogen, Ammonia, Biofuels)
- Fire Research, Safety, and Mitigation Strategies
- Gas Turbine, Engine, and Industrial Combustion
- Soot, Nanomaterials, and Pollutant Formation
