Dr Subith Vasu, combustion and fuel researcher at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in the United States investigates what happens to toxic chemicals during explosions. Deadly chemical weapons pose a problem when it comes to destruction.

The results of Dr Vasu’s experiments may help ascertain what kind of explosives may effective in destroying dangerous chemical weapons in the safest and most efficient way possible.

Dr Vasu’s work is a reminder that many researchers aspire to use science to benefit humanity and counter the menace of chemical weapons.

This project is co-funded by the European Union.
