Current Tadpoles
Students in the FIRE Lab are affectionately referred to as "Tadpoles". This name was suggested by the students for two reasons: (1) it symbolizes their junior status in the field of combustion research and (2) the "Tad" root references the classic combustion problem of solving for adiabatic flame temperature (T ).
