Dr. Olivier Mathieu is a Research Associate Professor of mechanical engineering. His research interests are combustion, chemical kinetics, and pollutants formation for gas turbine and transportation applications. He has published nearly 50 peer-reviewed journal articles in these areas. Prior to joining Texas A&M, Mathieu was a Research Scientist at Saudi Aramco where he worked on developing next generation fuels for road transportation. Mathieu is an active member of the Combustion Institute from which he received a national award (French Section) for his PhD work.
