Awad is working on finding innovative solutions for the reduction of harmful emissions which result from the burning of fossil fuels. During his PhD, he worked on a relatively new combustion mode called 'flameless combustion' that can achieve ultra-low NOx emissions. In his PhD, Awad proposed modelling equations and provided a more detailed physical understanding of that combustion mode, which will eventually contribute to more environmentally friendly gas turbines and aircraft engines. Awad is now a research associate at the University of Cambridge where he works in accordance with Rolls Royce in the design of a hydrogen-fueled aircraft that can help deliver net zero carbon by 2050.
