Michael T. Timko
Dr. Timko is a Principal Chemical Engineer at ARI working in the field of fuel chemistry and combustion. Dr. Timko has been PI on a three-year NASA NRA project to characterize volatile particle emissions from gas turbines and on Phase II SBIR contracts to develop technologies for the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, and NASA. In addition to his position at ARI, Dr. Timko is a Staff Scientist at MIT where he serves as Executive Director for the Fuel Desulfurization Program. His Ph.D. research was a study on the use of power ultrasound to emulsify supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) and water. The experimental components of Dr. Timko’s dissertation included experimental and theoretical characterization of scCO2/water emulsions and measurement of the rates of several model reactions including hydrolysis reactions and a Diels-Alder cycloaddition. He performed post-doctoral research in chemical physics at Harvard University.
