Energy
Adelphi's Department of Physics includes many undergraduate opportunities for energy research. Notable past research has been done with flame analysis and diagnostics, coal-oil mixtures ("coal slurries") as sources of energy, etc.

IFAS
IFAS, or the Intelligent Flame Analysis System, is a flame analysis and diagnostic tool developed at Adelphi. The system uses a unique combination of spectral imaging techniques and special computer software to determine combustion gas distributions in furnace flames. Under the direction of Dr. John Dooher, undergraduate students have the opportunity to work with the IFAS for a variety of applications.
