The Computational Modeling Group participated in the 37th International Symposium on Combustion in Dublin, Ireland from 29 July to 3 August 2018. This Symposium is the most important international meeting related to combustion science and provides an excellent environment for all participants around the world to share ideas and experiences. Over 1800 participants joined the meeting.

A total of 13 colloquium categories were addressed at the Symposium on Combustion including Soot, Nanomaterials and Large Molecules; Internal Combustion Engines; Gas-Phase Kinetics; Laminar Flames; Diagnostics; among others.

CoMo group members located in the University of Cambridge and Cambridge Centre for Advanced Research and Education in Singapore (CARES) actively participated in the Symposium with three presentations and ten work-in-progress posters, showing modelling and experimental results.
