research overview
- Professor Daily's work mainly involves biomass gasification, wildfire modeling the development MEMS based space propulsion and fuel injection devices and medical devices. As part of these activities he uses various numerical tools including molecular modeling methods to calculate thermodynamic properties, study nanoscale dynamics of droplets and aerosols, estimate chemical reaction rates and calculate flows in combustion devices. His students have been engaged in both laboratory and theoretical/numerical analysis. In 2008, he and colleagues from the Health Sciences Center obtained funding from an investment firm to start a company, Precision Biopsy Inc., to further develop a prostate cancer detection methodology based on intellectual property licensed by the University and work on the technology is ongoing.
