SUMMARY:8th International Flame Chemistry Workshop
LOCATION:Doshisha University, Shinmachi Campus , Giappone, ã€’602-0047 Kyoto, Kamigyo Ward, Konoedenomotecho, 159-1, Kyoto
DESCRIPTION:8th International Flame Chemistry Workshop\n\n07/25/26 08:00 AM JAP\n - 07/26/26 06:00 PM JAP\Description:\nThe 8th International Flame Chemistry Workshop (FCWS) will take place on 25–26 July 2026, as a satellite event of the 41st International Symposium on Combustion, in Kyoto, Japan, continuing the FCWS tradition of providing a focused forum for in-depth discussion within the combustion chemistry community.\n \nThe workshop will be held, jointly with other satellite workshops, at Shinmachi-Campus of Doshisha University which is located 5 metro stops away from the Symposium venue.\n \nThe objective of the International Flame Chemistry Workshop is to bring together leading experts and early-career researchers in combustion chemistry, flame science, chemical kinetics modeling, plasma chemistry, and diagnostics. Building on previously identified challenges, as well as new ones emerging from discussions in Kyoto, we aim to explore and further refine possible directions for future research, define shared goals, and identify coordinated actions where useful and relevant.\n \nThe workshop focuses on five interconnected topical areas:\n\n	Sustainable fuels combustion\n	Advanced diagnostics for combustion measurements\n	Plasma-assisted combustion\n	AI, automation, benchmarking, and knowledge transfer in theoretical kinetics\n	Progress and accuracy in chemical kinetics mechanism development\n\nThe program includes invited presentations from leading researchers addressing current challenges and setting the stage for in-depth discussion through extended time slots for each topic, alongside a poster session aligned with the workshop themes (see poster abstract submission instructions below).\n \nThe workshop is designed to prioritize discussion over presentation, creating space for exchange on ongoing progress, open questions, and emerging challenges in combustion chemistry. We warmly welcome participation and input from all attendees, including graduate students, postdocs, and senior researchers.\n \nA joint session with the Rapid Compression Machine (RCM) Workshop is also scheduled for the morning of Saturday the 25th, to discuss common challenges and share best practices from ongoing community efforts.\n\nInvited speakers: \nMarkus Kohler – German Aerospace Center, Stuttgart, Germany\nYusuyuki Sakai, Ibaraki University, Japan\nMike Burke, Columbia University, USA\nSong Cheng, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong\nRon Hanson, Stanford University, USA\nTina Kasper, Paderborn University, Germany\nTibor Nagy, Research Centre for Natural Sciences, Hungary\nXianwu Jiang, Wuhan University of Technology, China\nWei Ren, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong\nNicholas Tsolas, Auburn University, USA\nAlexander Mebel, Florida International University, USA\nWilliam H.
