Dr. Alger’s formal training is in Mechanical Engineering with an 

emphasis on Thermal/Fluids Systems. He graduated from the 

United States Military Academy as a Distinguished Cadet in 

1992 and commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Army 

Corps of Engineers, where he served five years before beginning 

graduate studies at The University of Texas at Austin. Both his master’s thesis 

and doctoral dissertation focused on optical investigations in a direct injection gasoline 

engine to determine the effect of flow fields and other engine parameters on fuel/air 

mixing, emissions and performance. 

Dr. Alger previously worked at Ford Motor Company’s Research and Advanced 

Engineering Division where he developed several new diagnostic capabilities, including 

PIV based turbulence measurements, a Spontaneous Raman Scattering residual 

diagnostic and a method for using a borescope to take flow field measurements. He 

was also heavily involved in the development of Ford’s Light Stratified Charge Direct 

Injection Gasoline Engine. 

Dr. Alger joined Southwest Research Institute in 2003 in the Advanced Combustion and 

Emissions section, which he now manages, concentrating on improving engine efficiency 

and emissions thorough in-cylinder combustion processes and advanced engine 

technologies. He is also manager of SwRI’s HEDGE II consortium, which is focused on 

improving gasoline engine efficiency through the use of cooled EGR, advanced ignition 

systems and other efficiency enhancing technologies. Current research interests include 

topics in ignition systems, abnormal combustion in gasoline engines, boosting systems 

for advanced gasoline and diesel engines and dual-fuel engine applications. 

Dr. Alger has been awarded 7 patents and published over forty papers on topics covering 

engine efficiency and emissions.

Advanced Diesel Particulate Filtration Systems 

I.D.# C0502 

November 29 - 30, 2012 

As diesel emissions regulations have become more 

and more stringent, diesel particulate filters (DPF) have 

become possibly the most important and complex diesel 

aftertreatment device. This seminar covers many DPFrelated 

topics using fundamentals from various branches 

of applied sciences such as porous media, filtration and 

materials sciences and will provide the student with both a 

theoretical as well as an applications-oriented approach to 

enhance the design and reliability of aftertreatment platforms. 

Structure, geometry, composition, performance, applications 

and optimizations of DPFs are some of the main topics 

covered in this advanced level seminar. Computer simulation 

techniques for analysis and optimization of DPF performance 

are also demonstrated.

Introduction to Hybrid Powertrains Webinar 

I.D.# C0903 

October 9, 2012 

Some OEMs estimate that up to 80% of their light-duty 

vehicles will require some level of hybridization to meet 

upcoming CAFE regulations in the United States. Additional 

market drivers, such as California’s greenhouse gas 

legislation (now adopted or in process in 20 US states and 

two Canadian provinces) and a possible global agreement 

on greenhouse gas production at the end of 2009 may help 

to accelerate the process. Basic information on hybrids is 

scattered among information sources, and is often difficult to 

synthesize. In this two-hour webinar, energy storage systems, 

inverters, motor-generators, and DC-DC converters are 

explained, as well as design considerations for both light-duty 

and heavy-duty vehicle powertrains and developing trends 

such as plug-in, flywheel and hydraulic hybrids.

Roy Cox provides readers with a thorough 

presentation of the topic, beginning with the 

earliest work on brakes by Frood in the early 

1900s and friction studies by daVinci in the 1400s. 

From there, details about the processes of wear 

and the components of tribological systems are 

presented. Methods of manufacturing friction 

materials are described, and the elements of 

friction material are detailed—binders, fibers, 


A large portion of the book delves deeply into 

materials for binders, resins, fibers, abrasives, 

lubricants, and fillers, providing background 

on the various materials, their pros and cons, 

and numerous ways they can be applied to 

friction systems. Much of this discussion focuses 

on the compositional makeup and effects of 

ingredients as they relate to the wear and friction 

performance of the final product. 

Readers will gain a solid background about 

tribology, as well as a deep understanding of 

matrices, fibers and additives that make up 

engineered tribological composites. They will learn 

how manufacturing affects these composites, 

along with how friction and wear affect those 

materials. They will gain a better understanding 

of which materials provide the optimum balance 

of cost, friction and wear for various applications, 

enabling them to better create and apply 

engineered tribological composites for whatever
