The International Sooting Flame (ISF) Workshop is an ongoing, biennial forum. The most recent iteration of the workshop was held from 22 – 23 July 2022, timed to occur before the 39th International Symposium on Combustion that is being held in Vancouver from 24 – 29 July 2022.

It is, “Organised by researchers, for researchers, to develop improved predictive capability of soot in flames of practical relevance through international collaboration between experimentalists and modellers.”

The ISF Committee is, “pleased to have introduced to our sixth meeting a series of prizes for PhD students and early career researchers, both for the best 3-minute presentation and for the best poster. In so doing, we also wish to thank Dr. Benedetta Franzelli (Laboratoire EM2C) and Dr. Zhiwei Sun (The University of Adelaide), for organising both the posters and the awards.”
