Dr. William M. Roquemore, a member of the Senior Executive Service, is Senior Scientist for Combustion, Propulsion Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. He serves as the senior research scientist and independent researcher in the field of air-breathing combustion, diagnostics and fuels technologies. He conceives, plans and advocates major research and development activities. He consults with the director of propulsion, the division chiefs and staff concerning the total reach program and its results. Dr. Roquemore monitors and guides the quality of scientific and technical resources. He provides expert technical consultation to Air Force organizations, Department of Defense and other government agencies, and to universities and industry.
Dr. Roquemore entered federal service in 1963 and has held various technical leadership positions in airbreathing propulsion. As Team Leader in the Fuels Branch, he pioneered the development and application of laser diagnostic techniques to study practical combustion flow. He used the techniques to establish a database for developing and evaluating combustor design models. As the Technical Director of the Combustion Branch, he led the development of a revolutionary gas turbine combustor, the trapped vortex combustor.
Dr. Roquemore has received patents for VTOL landing site preparation, fiber-optical thermoetry and trapped vortex combustor. He has authored or co-authored more than 200 publications on laser combustion diagnostics, and fundamental combustion and fuels.
