Diesel Exhaust Aftertreatment 2000-2007

Federico Millo is an Associate Professor at the Dipartimento di Energetica, Politecnico di Torino, Italy. He received his master's degree in mechanical engineering at Politecnico di Torino in 1989. After a short experience in the automotive industry, Mr. Millo joined the faculty at Politecnico di Torino as a Researcher Assistant in 1991. In 1998, he was appointed Associate Professor. His research activity has focused mainly on the analysis of the combustion process in internal combustion engines and of pollutant formation and control in diesel engines. He has published more than 50 articles, most of which are in the proceedings of international congresses and in international journals, and he has been responsible for several research projects with major European automotive companies. Mr. Millo also has been serving as a technical consultant for the European Commission for the development of a global technical regulation on worldwide harmonized test procedures for emissions regulations. He is a member of SAE International and has been serving as an organizer and chairman for the Engine Modeling session at the annual SAE World Congress, as well as a peer reviewer for several international journals, including the International Journal of Engine Research (Institution of Mechanical Engineers [IMechE]), the Journal of Energy Resources Technology, and the Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power (ASM E).

Magdi Khair Dr. Magdi Khair is an Institute Engineer in the Department of Emissions Research at Southwest Research Institute. He is experienced in the areas of engine testing and exhaust emissions control. Dr. Khair's prior experience was with AlliedSignal Automotive Catalyst Company, with the development of catalytic aftertreatment for light-duty and heavy-duty diesel engines; Ford New Holland, with primary responsibility for the development of the 6.6- and 7.8-liter midrange diesel engines to meet 1991 emissions standards; Bendix Diesel Engine Controls, where he led the development of advanced electronically controlled diesel fuel injection systems and established several cooperative engineering programs with European and North American engine manufacturers; and Chrysler Corporation, where he converted the Slant Six gasoline engine into an open-chamber, pilot-injected, and electronically controlled diesel engine, supervised a combustion kinetics project, and participated in the design and development of electronic controls for a passenger car turbine engine. Dr. Khair holds 13 U.S. patents on electronic fuel injection, turbocharging, exhaust gas recirculation, and aftertreatment systems. He also has authored and co-authored numerous papers for SAE International and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Dr. Khair received a B.S. in Automotive Engineering from Am Shams University, an MS. in Thermodynamics from the University of Birmingham, England, an M.B.A. from Michigan State University, and a Ph.D. in Engineering Management from Warren National University.
