Email: Robert R. Tacina
I have worked at NASA since 1967; 30 years have spent on combustor research and development,
4 years on Space Station design and 3 years on icing.
My current projects are: Lean-Direct-Injection low NOX combustor, National Combustor Code validation,
UEET combustor contract project coordination and fuel cell reformer R&D.
Last 13 years have been spent on experimental development of a LDI, ultra low NOx combustor.
