Biography
Dr. Naber joined MTU in August of 2004. Prior to joining MTU, he worked in the automotive industry on R&D of engine management systems for gasoline and diesel engines. He also worked at Sandia National Laboratories, CRF, investigating sprays and combustion processes of diesel, natural gas, and hydrogen engines utilizing laser-based diagnostics. He and fellow colleagues direct the Advanced Internal Combustion Laboratories (AICE) at the University. His research interests are in IC engines and after-treatment and the development and application of advanced experimental techniques, signal processing technologies, theoretical models, and embedded control to characterize thermo-physical processes.
